Beschrijving voorzijde Facing right, the helmeted head of Athena Parthenos rendered in fine high relief within a beaded border. The goddess wears the characteristic Attic helmet adorned with a prominent crest and a decorative scroll motif at the bowl, with long wavy locks of hair cascading beneath the neck guard. The modelling of the facial features is idealized in the classical tradition, with a straight nose, almond-shaped eye, and softly defined chin. The cheek-pieces of the helmet are raised, framing the face with elegant symmetry. The portrait reflects the refined die-cutting style associated with the New Style coinage of Athens.

Beschrijving keerzijde An owl, the sacred bird of Athena, stands facing right with head turned to face the viewer, rendered in fine detail with spread tail feathers visible, perched atop an amphora. A rudder appears to the lower left of the amphora, and Greek monograms flank the central device. The entire composition is enclosed within an olive wreath, a hallmark of the Athenian New Style tetradrachm series. The ethnic ΑΘΕ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Athens.
