| Obverse description | Right-facing helmeted head of Athena Parthenos, rendered in the late Hellenistic style characteristic of New Style Athenian coinage. The goddess wears an elaborate triple-crested Attic helmet adorned with a decorative visor, a palmette motif at the front, and flowing locks of hair descending from beneath the helmet onto her neck. The facial features are finely modelled with a serene, idealized expression. A beaded border encircles the field. |

| Reverse description | An owl, the symbol of Athena, stands three-quarters right with head facing, perched atop a Panathenaic amphora. The magistrates' names appear in the fields flanking the central design, with the Dioskouroi emblem (stars) to the right serving as a secondary control symbol. The letter Θ appears on the amphora body, and the letters ME are inscribed below it. The entire composition is enclosed within an olive wreath, referencing the sacred olive of Athena and characteristic of the New Style tetradrachm series. |
