| Obverse description | Wreathed head of Dionysos facing left, rendered in high relief with fine archaic-style engraving. The god is depicted with a thick, curly beard and flowing locks, crowned with a vine and ivy wreath. The portrait displays strong facial modeling characteristic of late 5th to mid-4th century BC Thasian coinage. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Herakles, clad in the Nemean lion skin, kneeling to the right on one knee in a striding pose, drawing a strung bow. An owl, symbol of Athena, stands to the left or right. The legend ΘΑΣΙΟΝ ('of the Thasians') runs around the periphery. The entire design is contained within a linear square border set within a broad incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek coinage technique. |
