| Obverse description | Radiate head of Helios in three-quarter face turned slightly to right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with characteristic wavy locks of hair fanning outward as solar rays. The face is youthful and idealized, with deeply modelled features including pronounced brow, almond-shaped eyes, and softly parted lips. The radiating crown of solar spikes emerges from the hair in high relief, a hallmark of Rhodian civic coinage. The field is plain, with no legend or subsidiary device on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A rose in full bloom with stem and a budding lateral shoot to the right, the civic emblem of Rhodes, occupying the central field. To the lower left, a coiled serpent is depicted in profile, its body rendered in careful detail. The entire design is contained within a shallow incuse square, a characteristic feature of early and mid-Hellenistic Rhodian silver coinage. The magistrate's name ΤΙΜΟΚΡΑΤΗΣ appears in the field, accompanied by the ethnic abbreviation Ρ Ο for Rhodos. |
