The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with fine engraving typical of Thessalian federal coinage.

Reverse description Standing nude figure of Phemios as a slinger, shown in dynamic right-facing posture with a chlamys draped over his shoulder and a sword in its scabbard at his side, discharging a sling. Behind him, leaning against his right leg, are two spears; to the right of the composition, a wheat ear on its stalk occupies the field. The ethnic legend ΑΙΝΙΑΝΩΝ appears above and the magistrate's name ΛΕΥΚΙΔΑ below or in the field, identifying both the issuing people and the responsible official.
