| Obverse description | Standing figure of Apollo depicted in the nude, facing left in three-quarter view, with the right arm raised and the left arm extended forward, possibly holding a laurel branch or bow. The god is rendered in a Hellenistic artistic style with naturalistic musculature. The field to the right is bordered by a partial row of pellets forming a decorative beaded border along the coin's edge. |

| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left, rendered in a recumbent or crouching posture with head turned to face the viewer, resting upon a ground line. Above the lion's back appears a eight-petalled star or rosette to the left and a palm frond or floral ornament to the right, with what appears to be a monogram in the upper right field. The magistrate's name AEΣXYΛINOY (genitive of Aeschylinos) is inscribed along the lower exergue in Greek letters, identifying this as an issue under the authority of that civic magistrate. |
