Tetradrachm

Obverse description	Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with curling locks of hair falling to the neck and a wreath of laurel encircling the head. The portrait is modeled in high relief with delicate, idealized facial features characteristic of the late Hellenistic artistic tradition of Mysia. The field is smooth and unadorned, with no visible legend on this side. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hand-struck civic coinage of this period.

Reverse description	Standing figure of Artemis Aktaia in high relief at center, depicted frontally with her head turned slightly, wearing a long chiton draped about the lower body and left bare at the torso, her right hand resting on a low altar or cista at her side and a palm branch visible to the left. The surrounding Greek inscription is divided between the left and right fields, reading ΑΠΟΛΩΝΟΣ ΑΚΤΑΙΟΥ ΠΑΡΙΑΝΩΝ with the ethnic of the city of Parion and the magistrate's name or initials ΔΙ ΤΕΥ incorporated into the design. The composition is characteristic of the civic coinage of Parion in Mysia during the late Hellenistic period.
