The front of this coin depicts the goddess Artemis Tauropolis facing right. She wears a distinctive headpiece called a stephane, with her hair rolled in triple knot with loose locks down her neck; behind her shoulder is a bow and quiver. On the back a vertical club is flanked by an as yet untranslated inscription and encircled by a border of oak leaves.
