| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in left profile, wearing a crested Attic helmet. The effigy is rendered in archaic-influenced style typical of Aeolian civic coinage, with bold, slightly crude engraving characteristic of hammered silver issues. The helmet crest is prominent, and facial features are stylized. The field is plain and unlettered. |

| Reverse description | A warrior advancing to the right in a dynamic striding pose, armed with a round shield on the left arm and a spear raised in the right hand. The letters A-M are disposed across the upper field and T-A across the lower field, representing the abbreviated civic legend of Temnos. The design is rendered in the bold, compact style characteristic of Hellenistic Aeolian civic issues. |
