A gold coin depicts a standing figure facing left, wearing a pointed hat and tunic embellished with raised dots. The figure holds a trident in their right hand and a long staff in their left. Circular Greek-style inscriptions frame the image. Between the figure's feet sits a small four-armed cross. The coin's irregular circular shape features a small notch at the bottom edge.
