| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with long, flowing hair bound by a laurel wreath, the locks trailing loosely behind the neck. The facial features are delicately modeled with a smooth, idealized profile characteristic of late Hellenistic die-cutting. The bust is truncated at the shoulder, occupying the central field of the flan. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Apollo Smintheos, the archer god in his role as divine protector against mice and plague, depicted standing to the right in full figure. He holds a phiale in his extended right hand, a bow in his left, and an arrow; monograms appear in the lower inner left and right fields serving as mint control marks. The reverse legend ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΟΣ ΖΜΙΘΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝ encircles the type, identifying the deity and the issuing city of Alexandreia Troas. |
