| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena Parthenos facing right, wearing a triple-crested Attic helmet adorned with floral and scroll motifs and a central palmette above the visor; the hair falls in long wavy locks over the neck and shoulder. The face is rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of late New Style Athenian coinage, with delicate features and a serene expression. The helmet bowl is elaborately decorated with a griffin or raptor motif on the crest support. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Owl of Athena standing right atop a panathenaic amphora, with head turned to face the viewer, wings closed; the amphora bears the letter B on its body and the ethnic ΑΘΕ below. In the right field, a winged figure of Tyche stands left, holding an object extended over the amphora and cradling a cornucopia in her left arm. The magistrates' names — partially preserved as Herakleides, Eukles, and Askle[...] — appear in the fields. The letters ΣΟ are inscribed beneath the amphora. The entire type is surrounded by an olive wreath, the civic emblem of Athens, consistent with the New Style coinage series. |
