| Obverse description | Facing head of Hermes, turned slightly to the right, wearing a broad-brimmed petasus with characteristic divine attributes rendered in fine archaic-classical style. The deity's youthful, idealized features are framed by wavy locks of hair falling at the sides, with the brim of the petasus clearly delineated above. The portrait is set within a plain field bordered by a delicate dotted circle, occupying the full flan in a manner typical of fourth-century Thracian civic coinage. |

| Reverse description | The enthroned xoanon (cult image) of Hermes Perpheraios facing left, depicted as a rigid, archaic-style idol seated upon a high-backed throne; the figure holds attributes consistent with the god's iconography, including what appears to be a caduceus. A six-pointed star symbol is prominently displayed in the left field. The ethnic legend ΑΙΝΙΟΝ is inscribed along the right field in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Ainos. |
