| Obverse description | Bearded head of Dionysos facing right, wreathed with a richly detailed ivy crown, the locks of hair rendered in flowing, deeply cut strands. The god's mature, heavily bearded visage is rendered with considerable artistic vigor characteristic of Hellenistic die-cutting. No legend appears on the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | A wreathed krater on a high foot with low lateral handles occupies the central field, serving as the principal type of Naxian civic coinage. In the left field, the magistrate's name TYNNI is inscribed in Greek characters, while a thyrsos — the sacred staff of Dionysos — is depicted in the right field. The ethnic ΝΑΞΙ appears as part of the reverse legend, affirming the civic authority of the island of Naxos in the Cyclades. |
