| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the classical Greek style with curling locks of hair falling behind the neck and a laurel wreath crown. The portrait occupies most of the flan, with the facial features modeled in moderate relief typical of Achaean bronze coinage of the late 4th century BC. The eye, nose, and lips are rendered with careful attention, and the wreath is composed of stylized bay leaves. The field surrounding the effigy is plain and unlettered. |

| Reverse description | Head of a ram facing right, depicted in profile with curved horn, set within a circular olive wreath that frames the entire design. The Greek inscription ΓΞ appears above the ram's head, functioning as a civic abbreviation or control mark. The wreath is composed of pairs of elongated leaves arranged symmetrically around the central device. The overall composition is compact and well-centered within the irregular flan, characteristic of Achaean civic bronzes of this period. |
