| Obverse description | Bare head of Aphrodite facing left, rendered in fine archaic-Classical Greek style with long flowing hair swept back and falling loosely behind the neck. The facial features are delicately modelled with a straight profile, prominent brow, and slightly parted lips. The hair is arranged in wavy strands with a simple taenia or fillet visible along the crown. The flan is irregular, typical of hand-struck Cypriot silver coinage of the late 4th century BC. |

| Reverse description | Bare head of Aphrodite facing right, similarly rendered in Classical Greek style with long wavy hair swept back and tied loosely, falling in ringlets behind the neck. A beaded necklace is visible at the base of the throat, and the bust is lightly draped at the shoulder. The monograms ΠΝ and ΒΑ appear in the field, serving as abbreviated royal and royal-title references. The flan is irregularly shaped, consistent with hammered Cypriot silver of the period. |
