| Obverse description | Turreted head of Artemis facing right, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features and hair. The goddess wears a mural crown or turreted headdress, with bow and quiver visible over the left shoulder. The portrait exhibits the naturalistic Hellenistic style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage, with hair drawn back and a composed, idealized profile. The field is plain, with no visible legend on this side. |

| Reverse description | Marsyas advancing to the right, depicted as a striding satyr-like figure playing the double flute (aulos), rendered in vigorous Hellenistic style. The figure walks upon a maeander pattern border at the base, a distinctive civic emblem of Apameia. The surrounding Greek legend names the city and the magistrates responsible for the issue, divided into three segments around the central type. The composition is energetic, with the figure's posture and drapery conveying movement. |
