| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a crested Athenian helmet with a bowl covering the skull. The portrait is rendered in archaic Cypriot style, with the facial features and neckline visible in profile. The flan is small and irregular, characteristic of the denomination, with the design centered within the die. |

| Reverse description | An eight-rayed star with elongated triangular rays radiating symmetrically from a central raised pellet, all set within a plain field. The design fills the flan, with each ray tapering to a fine point. The motif is boldly struck and well-centered, serving as the principal type for coinage of Evagoras II of Salamis. |
