| Obverse description | A Heracles club draped with a lion's skin, displayed upright in the field, flanked by grape clusters on either side. The entire design is encircled by a broad laurel wreath rendered in high relief, its leaves arranged symmetrically around the central motif. The composition reflects the civic and Dionysiac iconography characteristic of Pergamene coinage of the Cistophoric era. |

| Reverse description | A large grape cluster with prominent individual berries depicted centrally, flanked by broad vine leaves rendered in detailed relief. A horizontal thyrsos or stylis appears to the upper left of the composition. The design continues the Dionysiac thematic programme of the series, consistent with the artistic conventions of Pergamene silver coinage of the second and first centuries BC. |
