| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, depicted in fine archaic-transitional Greek style with elaborately rendered flowing locks of hair cascading behind the neck and secured by a wreath. The facial features are finely modeled with a straight nose, delicate lips, and a serene expression characteristic of late Classical Greek coinage. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hammered gold staters of this period. |

| Reverse description | Prow of a warship (trireme) facing left, depicted in profile with detailed rendering of the ram, oar-box, and hull timbers; a decorative rosette is visible amidships and the vessel rests above a stylized wave pattern representing the sea. A large bird, likely an eagle or heron, stands at the prow facing left. The Greek legend IEPOΚΛΗΣ (Hierokles) arcs across the upper field, identifying the issuing magistrate or dynast of Kios. |
