Obverse description Aphrodite seated left upon a throne, her right hand extending a phiale above a lighted and garlanded altar in the left field. To her right, Eros stands facing left and raises his arms in the act of crowning the goddess. The figures are rendered in the fine late Archaic to early Classical style characteristic of Cilician coinage of this period.

Reverse description Dionysos stands facing left, his right hand raising a bunch of grapes on a vine and his left hand gripping a thyrsos. In the upper left field, the letter Alpha (Α) appears within a wreath, serving as a civic or magistrate's mark associated with the mint of Nagidos. The composition reflects the strong Dionysiac iconographic tradition prevalent in Cilician silver coinage of the early fourth century BC.
