| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style, her hair drawn back and gathered with a decorative fillet, loose strands falling at the nape. A bow and quiver are visible over her shoulder, serving as her divine attributes. The portrait displays naturalistic modelling of the facial features characteristic of late Hellenistic Greek coinage. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A bull seated in repose, facing right, rendered with careful anatomical detail typical of Euboian civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΕΡΕΤΡΙΕΩΝ appears above the bull in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Eretria. The name of the magistrate ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΣ is inscribed in the exergue below the bull. The composition is well-centered within the irregular flan, consistent with hammered Greek silver coinage of the Hellenistic period. |
