| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Classical style with flowing, wavy hair falling behind the neck. The features are delicately modeled with a straight nose, slightly parted lips, and a serene expression characteristic of late Cypriot Greek coinage. The wreath of laurel is visible atop the head. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hammered ancient silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Head of Aphrodite or a female deity facing left, with elaborately styled flowing hair swept back in loose waves, rendered in a graceful late Classical manner. The neck is bare, and the facial features show fine workmanship consistent with Salaminian mint production of the mid-fourth century BC. The field is plain with no border, and traces of the royal legend appear in the lower portion of the flan. |
