| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Attic helmet adorned with a crest, her hair rendered in loose locks falling to the neck. The portrait is rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial style characteristic of Pergamene bronze coinage, with naturalistic facial features visible despite the coin's modest module. |

| Reverse description | A strung bow in profile, set horizontally across the field, with the royal name ΦΙΛΕΤΑΙΡΟΥ divided by the bow, the first element ΦΙΛΕ appearing in the upper field and ΤΑΙΡΟΥ in the lower field. The legend is rendered in large, bold Greek characters that dominate the coin's reverse design, the bow serving as a central dividing device. |
