| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style. The hair is depicted in tight curls arranged beneath the laurel wreath, with delicate facial features including a slightly parted lip and a well-modelled eye. The portrait fills the flan with no visible legend or inscription in the field. |

| Reverse description | Bearded male head facing right, wearing a Persian tiara (kidaris), rendered within a recessed incuse square. The beard is depicted with careful striation, and the tiara is shown with characteristic pointed crown and lappets. The incuse square occupies the majority of the reverse field, a hallmark of early Greek coinage production typical of the fifth century BC. |
