| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Attic helmet adorned with a palmette and curling crest; the goddess's hair falls in loose waves beneath the helmet, framing a serene, classical profile. The facial features are rendered in fine Hellenistic style with a smooth, rounded cheek and slightly parted lips. A pearl border encircles the entire field. The overall style is consistent with the New Style Athenian coinage of the late second century BC. |

| Reverse description | Athena's sacred owl stands facing, with head turned to face the viewer, perched upon a prostrate amphora; to the left, a vertical inscription naming the three magistrates Zoilos, Euandros, and Theochen arranged in columnar format; to the right, a small bee symbol and an owl's head control mark are visible in the field. The entire composition is enclosed within an olive wreath border, a hallmark of Athenian New Style tetradrachms. The reverse exhibits the characteristic crowded yet orderly arrangement of symbols and lettering typical of this series. |
