Beschrijving voorzijde Draped bust of Zeus-Ammon facing right, wearing a tainia or diadem, with a ram's horn curling behind the ear — a syncretic divine effigy combining the Greek god Zeus with the Egyptian deity Ammon. The portrait is rendered in a bold Hellenistic style typical of early Ptolemaic bronze coinage struck at Cypriot mints. The flan is irregular and the surface shows heavy encrustation consistent with the coin's age and burial history. No legend appears on the obverse. The overall style reflects the artistic conventions established under Ptolemy I and continued into the early co-regency period.

Beschrijving keerzijde Eagle standing left on thunderbolt, wings spread and partially closed, head turned to the left — the emblematic reverse type of the Ptolemaic bronze series. The eagle is rendered with characteristic Hellenistic vigour, its powerful form occupying the majority of the coin's field. A partial Greek legend is disposed around the eagle, reading BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΠTOΛEMAIOY with the abbreviated epithet EY XAP (Eucharistos) in the field, identifying the issuing monarch. The flan is irregularly struck with significant die wear and surface patination obscuring fine detail. This reverse type became the standard eagle-on-thunderbolt motif used throughout the Ptolemaic dynasty.
