| Obverse description | Bare head facing right, rendered in a schematic late Hellenistic style characteristic of the Massalian bronze series. The portrait is relatively crude, consistent with the small module and late republican date of this emission. The flan is irregular and the surface heavily patinated, obscuring fine details. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing right with wings spread, depicted in a bold, stylized manner typical of the late Massalian civic bronze coinage. The bird occupies the central field, with the Greek civic legend ΜΑΣ arranged around the type, serving as an abbreviated reference to the issuing city of Massalia. The die work is characteristic of the reduced-module bronzes struck in the final century of Massalian civic coinage. |
