| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in fine archaic-to-classical transitional style. The goddess wears a crested Attic helmet with a prominent ridge and cheekguards, beneath which her flowing hair cascades in carefully engraved tresses. The facial features are finely modeled with a strong profile, almond-shaped eye, and slightly parted lips. A dotted border frames the design along the coin's irregular periphery. |

| Reverse description | The Phoenician deity Baal depicted standing to the left in a dignified frontal-to-three-quarter pose, his right hand extended holding a phiale (libation bowl) and his left hand gripping a lotus-tipped scepter or staff. The figure is draped in a long garment rendered with incised folds. The Aramaic inscription ŠTDM appears in the left field, identifying the civic or dynastic authority of the Issos mint. |
