| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Greek provincial style characteristic of the Aetolian League coinage. The laurel wreath is depicted with bold, flowing leaves framing the deity's profile. The facial features are modelled with clarity despite the small module, showing a straight nose and well-defined jaw. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. |

| Reverse description | A spearhead pointing to the upper right is depicted in the upper field, accompanied by a jawbone of a boar in the lower field, both emblematic symbols of the Aetolian League referencing the Calydonian Boar Hunt. The ethnic legend ΑΙΤΩ / ΛΩΝ is distributed around the central devices, split across the upper and lower portions of the field in Greek characters. The devices are boldly rendered with strong relief, typical of hammered bronze coinage of the period. |
