| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded male head in right profile, likely depicting Zeus or a local river deity, rendered in robust high relief characteristic of late Hellenistic civic coinage. The hair is elaborately styled with thick, flowing locks swept back from the forehead, and the full beard is rendered with deeply incised, naturalistic curls. A dotted border encircles the coin's periphery. The flan is irregular, consistent with hammered production of the period. |

| Reverse description | An eagle standing left atop a thunderbolt, its wings partially spread, head turned to the right in a vigilant pose — a device emblematic of Hellenistic civic coinage in Asia Minor. To the right of the eagle, the ethnic legend ΑΝΤΙ / ΟΧΕΩΝ is inscribed in two lines within the field. To the lower left, the magistrate's name ΣΟΛ appears, identifying the issuing authority. The entire design is framed by a distinctive meander (key-pattern) border, a hallmark of coinage from Antioch ad Meandrum. |
