| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right in three-quarter profile, wearing an Attic helmet adorned with a laurel wreath along the bowl; long, wavy hair flows beneath the helmet and falls across the neck and shoulder. The goddess's finely modelled features are rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of late second-century Troadic coinage. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The die engraving displays confident, high-relief workmanship consistent with the civic mint of Ilion. |

| Reverse description | Athena Ilias standing in three-quarter view to right, clad in a long peplos; she holds a distaff in her extended right hand and a filleted spear upright in her left. A small owl stands to the right at her feet, facing right. A monogram appears in the inner left field. The ethnic legend AΘHNAΣ IΛIAΔOΣ runs around the upper field, while the magistrate's name ΗΓΗΣΙΔΗΜΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΔΙΟΦΑΝΟΥ is inscribed in the exergue, identifying the issuing official responsible for this emission. |
