| Obverse description | Cult statue of Aphrodite Aineias standing facing right, her extended right hand presenting an aphlaston; a stag stands to the right, also facing right. The entire composition is framed within a laurel wreath border, lending the design an emblematic, sanctuary-influenced character consistent with Leukadian civic iconography of the Hellenistic period. |

| Reverse description | Prow of a war galley advancing to the right, rendered in fine detail with the characteristic raised bow, oar box, and rowing frame visible along the hull; above the prow, the two-line magistrate legend appears in the field. The design is a hallmark of Leukadian coinage, reflecting the city's maritime significance and naval power in the Hellenistic Ionian region. |
