| Obverse description | Cow standing left, head lowered, suckling a calf which stands beneath her facing right. The magistrate's name ΑΝΔΡΙΩΝ appears in Greek legend above in the field. The design is rendered in fine relief with naturalistic detail characteristic of Illyrian Greek coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Double stellate or double-linear square pattern (a complex geometric design of concentric squares with radiating linear divisions creating a star-like or grid effect) occupying the central field, with the civic ethnic ΑΠΟΛ divided across the top and the magistrate's name split into syllables ΘΕ ΟΦΙ ΛΟΥ arranged around the remaining sides. A small anchor symbol appears at the bottom below the geometric pattern, serving as the civic badge of Apollonia. The overall composition is typical of the distinctive reverse type used throughout the coinage of Apollonia Pontica. |
