| Obverse description | Youthful laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Greek style with long wavy locks falling behind the neck and a laurel wreath crowning the brow. The portrait displays softly modelled facial features characteristic of late Classical coinage from the Troad region, with a gently curved jawline and delicately incised eye. The hair is rendered in parallel wavy strands, and the flan, though irregular, displays the design in high relief against a smooth field. |

| Reverse description | Eagle with wings closed, standing left in profile, its plumage rendered with careful feather detailing across the breast and folded wings. A caduceus is placed vertically before the eagle, and a rose appears in the upper right field behind the bird. The ethnic abbreviation ABY is inscribed to the left, while the magistrate's name ΝΟΥΜΗΝΙΟΣ runs along the right field in Greek characters, together identifying the issuing city of Abydos and the responsible official. |
