| Obverse description | Youthful laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style with wavy locks of hair swept back from the brow and falling in full curls behind the neck. The facial features are delicately modeled with a straight nose and slightly parted lips. The laurel wreath encircling the head is characteristic of Sikyonian Apollo types of the fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | A large lunate sigma (Σ) occupies the central field, with a retrograde epsilon (Ǝ) — serving as an abbreviation of the ethnic ΣΙΚ(ΥΩΝΙΩΝ) — positioned to the left. The entire device is enclosed within an olive or laurel wreath tied at the base to the left, its branches rendered in low relief typical of Sikyonian bronze coinage of the period. |
