| Obverse description | Head of Hermes facing right, wearing a broad-brimmed petasos adorned with a row of dots along the brim. The hair is rendered in tight curls framing the face, and the facial features display the characteristic archaic-to-classical transitional style of Thracian mint engravers. The neck is bare, and the portrait fills the compact flan with confident relief. |

| Reverse description | A goat standing to the right in the field, rendered with naturalistic musculature and careful attention to the animal's posture. The abbreviated civic legend ΑΙΝΙ appears above the goat in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Ainos in Thrace. The design is set within a shallow incuse square, typical of hammered coinage of this period and region. |
