| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena Parthenos facing right, wearing a richly ornamented Attic helmet adorned with a palmette finial and elaborate floral and serpent decoration on the bowl; the goddess's hair flows in long waves beneath the helmet cheek-guards. The portrait is rendered in the distinctive late New Style Athenian manner, with fine high-relief modelling typical of the period. A dotted border encircles the field. |

| Reverse description | Owl standing right with head facing front, perched atop a panathenaic amphora; a gorgoneion appears to the right of the owl, and the letter Γ is inscribed on the body of the amphora with ΣO below. The names of the magistrates Niketes, Dionysios, and a third official appear in the fields. The entire design is enclosed within an olive wreath, consistent with the New Style Athenian tetradrachm coinage. |
