Beschrijving voorzijde Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with an olive-leaf wreath, rendered in a schematic South Arabian interpretation of the Athenian prototype. The facial features are summarily struck, consistent with the local Sabaean die-cutting tradition. The neck and drapery are indicated in low relief, and the helmet crest projects prominently above the crown of the flan. The overall style reflects the imitative character of these Arabian Felix drachms, derived from late classical Athenian coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde Owl standing three-quarters facing, wings closed, rendered in the Athenian imitative style characteristic of Arabian Felix coinage. To the right of the owl, a crescent or circular symbol is visible in the field, a typical Sabaean addition distinguishing local issues from the Athenian originals. Traces of a Greek legend are present in the field, corresponding to the abbreviated form of the Athenian reverse inscription. The execution is bold but schematic, with the feather detail of the owl simplified in accordance with local engraving conventions.
