| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing an Attic helmet adorned with a laurel wreath along the bowl. The goddess's hair falls in wavy locks beneath the helmet's cheekpieces, rendered in a fine archaic-influenced style characteristic of fourth-century Troadic coinage. The facial features are delicately modeled with a straight nose and slightly parted lips, conveying a serene divine authority. |

| Reverse description | Facing bull's head rendered frontally in high relief, with prominent upswept horns and large eyes, occupying the center of the field. The ethnic legend ΑΣΣΙΟΝ is arranged around the bull's head, with individual letters distributed in the quadrants between the horns and below. A bunch of grapes appears to the right of the bull's head, serving as a secondary type symbol alluding to the agricultural prosperity of the region. |
