A circular gold coin depicts a stylized figure wearing long robes, a tiered crown, and a beaded halo. Facing forward, the figure holds a vertical staff on the right and is flanked by small, humped animals facing the center. A border of raised dots encircles the central embossed scene on the slightly irregular, worn surface. The figures lack fine details, and the warm gold features highlights on the raised textures.
