| Obverse description | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet, rendered in a crude local adaptation of the Athenian style. The facial features are boldly modelled in high relief, with the helmet crest and cheek-guards discernible despite the rough workmanship. The planchet is irregular and the die-cutting reflects provincial execution influenced by contemporary Athenian coinage circulating in Egypt. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | Two Egyptian hieroglyphic signs arranged vertically in the field, identifying the issuing pharaoh Nectanebo II. The upper sign is the nefer hieroglyph (𓄤), associated with goodness and perfection, below which appears a further royal or titular sign. The design occupies the centre of the irregular flan with no additional decorative border, reflecting the hybrid Greco-Egyptian character of the issue. The reverse die is crudely cut, consistent with local production during the last native pharaonic dynasty. |
