| Obverse description | Boar's head facing right, rendered in low relief with naturalistic detail including bristled crest along the neck and snout. The colonial legend C A A P is disposed around the type in the field, serving as an abbreviated reference to the Colonia Augusta Aroe Patrensis. The flan is irregular and slightly worn, consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Reverse description | A Roman war galley depicted in profile moving to the right, with oars extended and a raised prow visible. The hull and superstructure are rendered schematically, typical of provincial Augustan bronze coinage from the Greek colonies. The reverse field is largely plain with no surrounding legend, and the surface shows significant patination and wear consistent with extended circulation. |
