| Obverse description | Draped bust of Hera facing left, rendered in fine archaic-to-transitional Greek style, wearing a decorated stephanos adorned with ornamental elements across the crown. The hair is elaborately arranged in waves and gathered at the nape, with a small earring visible at the ear. A beaded border encircles the flan. The portraiture displays the refined artistic sensibility characteristic of Pontic coinage of the late fifth to early fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | An owl, symbolizing wisdom and civic pride, stands facing with wings fully spread upon the surface of a round shield depicted in the field. The magistrate's abbreviated name AP-IΣ is inscribed across the inner field, while ΠEIPA appears in the exergue, referencing the issuing authority of Peiraeeus. Additional symbols are placed to the outer left and outer right of the central device. The composition is typical of Amisene civic coinage associating Athena's owl with local magistrate identifications. |
