| Obverse description | Draped bust of Dionysos facing right, wearing a wreath of ivy or vine leaves over long, flowing hair rendered in fine strands. The portrait is executed in a naturalistic Hellenistic style typical of Aegean island coinage, with well-defined facial features and a slightly idealized profile. The field is plain with no visible legend. |

| Reverse description | A dolphin depicted in left profile, arched dynamically as if leaping or diving, occupying the central field. The marine motif is a characteristic emblem of Andros, reflecting the island's maritime identity. The ethnic inscription ΑΝΔΡΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing polis. The design is rendered in a bold, compact style consistent with Hellenistic hammered coinage of the Cycladic islands. |
