| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with naturalistic features. The hair is elaborately arranged in wavy locks bound by a laurel wreath, with individual leaves and berries rendered in high relief. The facial features are finely modelled, displaying a youthful, idealized visage with a prominent nose and well-defined chin. The bust is truncated at the neck, set within a broad, plain field typical of Paeonion royal coinage of the late 4th century BC. |

| Reverse description | A Paeonion warrior on a rearing horse advancing to the right, his body twisted as he drives a spear downward toward a fallen enemy warrior below. The enemy figure, shown partially beneath the horse, defends himself with a round shield and raises a spear in resistance. A bucranium (ox skull) appears in the lower left field, serving as a secondary symbol. The reverse legend ΠΑΤΡΑΟΥ runs around the design, identifying the issuing king Patraos. The composition displays dynamic energy characteristic of Macedonian-influenced Paeonion royal imagery. |
