| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded head of Zeus facing left, rendered in bold high relief with richly detailed flowing hair and full beard characteristic of late Classical Greek engraving. The laurel wreath is prominently rendered with individual leaves clearly defined. The portrait conveys a majestic, divine character consistent with Thessalian artistic conventions of the early third century BC. The field is plain, with the flan showing the typical irregular fabric of a hammered issue. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Phemios depicted in three-quarter view to right, nude save for a chlamys draped over his left shoulder and a sword in its scabbard suspended at his side. He is shown in the act of discharging a sling, his body tensed in the motion of release. Two spears lean against his right leg in the left field. The ethnic legend ΑΙΝΙΑΝΩΝ is disposed in the field, identifying the issuing community of the Ainianes. |
