| Obverse description | Facing bust of Artemis, rendered in three-quarter view turned slightly to left, with hair gathered and adorned; the goddess wears a triple-pendant earring and a beaded necklace. The portrait displays the characteristic archaic-to-classical transitional style of Macedonian mint engraving. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend or exergual inscription. |

| Reverse description | A nude youth on horseback galloping to right, holding the reins in his left hand and a victory palm branch in his raised right hand, emblematic of equestrian contest triumph. In the lower field or exergue, a forepart of Pegasos faces right, serving as a mint or magistrate control symbol. The reverse legend ΦΙΛΙΠ - ΠΟΥ, the genitive form of Philip's name, is disposed in two parts flanking the equestrian figure, inscribed in Greek characters. |
