| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with deeply modeled curling hair and a full, flowing beard rendered in the bold Hellenistic tradition. The laurel wreath encircles the head prominently, with individual leaves clearly articulated. The portrait exhibits the characteristic mature, powerful physiognomy associated with Zeus imagery on late Hellenistic civic coinage of Asia Minor. A beaded border runs along the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing left atop a thunderbolt, wings closed, head turned to face left, conveying a stance of regal vigilance. A cornucopia is depicted behind the eagle in the left field, serving as a civic symbol of abundance. The entire central design is enclosed within a decorative Maeander (Greek key) border, a motif emblematic of the Maeander River region and the city of Antioch ad Meandrum. The ethnic legend ANTIOXEΩN and the magistrate name MENEΦPΩN are inscribed within the design, identifying both the issuing city and the responsible official. |
