| Obverse description | Jugate busts of Apollo and Artemis facing right in high relief, both draped, with a quiver visible over the shoulder. Apollo appears in the foreground with flowing hair, while Artemis is positioned slightly behind. The style is characteristic of Hellenistic civic coinage from Phrygia, rendered with bold if somewhat crude engraving typical of small-denomination hammered silver issues. |

| Reverse description | A quiver shown upright at centre flanked by a strung bow, the emblems of Apollo and Artemis rendered in a schematic Hellenistic style. The devices are set within a plain field, with the civic ethnic legend disposed around the design. The engraving is compact and bold, suited to the small flan of this minor silver denomination. |
