| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity facing right, identified tentatively as Artemis, with hair elaborately bound and secured above the head by a ribbon wound three times around the coiffure. The portrait is rendered in a refined Hellenistic style, with softly modelled facial features characteristic of island mint production of the early second century BC. The field is plain, with no visible legend on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A goat standing to the right in profile, rendered with naturalistic detail typical of Parian coinage. Above the animal, a two-line Greek inscription records the name of the presiding magistrate and the ethnic of the issuing city. The composition is compact and well-centred within the irregular flan, with the lettering disposed in two horizontal lines above the principal device. |
