| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a turreted and radiate crown with multiple tall rays, her hair rendered in fine wavy locks beneath the crown. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the Hellenistic tradition, with delicate facial features including an almond-shaped eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. A sceptre or palm frond is visible behind the shoulder. The field is smooth with no legend, the coin struck on a broad, slightly irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Nike standing facing left, wearing a chiton and himation, her large wings spread behind her; she raises her right hand in a gesture of offering or crowning and holds a palm frond in her left hand. She stands atop the prow of a galley, a common Aradian reverse type emblematic of the city's maritime prowess. To the left of the figure, the magistrate's monogram AMP above ΘC in Greek characters; to the right, the ethnic ΑΡΑΔΙΩΝ in Greek. The entire composition is encircled by an olive wreath with berries, lending a formal, ceremonial framing to the design. |
