| Obverse description | Bare head of Artemis facing right, her hair arranged in loose wavy locks and bound with a wreath, rendered in a style typical of Cretan mint production of the Hellenistic period. The portrait is executed in relatively high relief with naturalistically modeled facial features. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. |

| Reverse description | Winged thunderbolt displayed facing, with lateral volutes and spread wings rising from the central shaft, a characteristic Hellenistic rendering of the Zeusian symbol. Partial Greek inscription visible in the field to the left and right, likely the ethnic abbreviation of Axos. The type is struck on a small, irregularly shaped flan with typical die alignment variation. |
