The image shows a coin with a sculpted relief of a man standing in a contrapposto pose. The man is nude and holds a long object in his right hand, with his left arm slightly bent and holding objects or fabric that drapes down. The sculpture is made of a dark, bronze-like material, with a color that ranges from dark brown to verdigris green. The figure is relatively small compared to the overall size of the worn, nearly circular coin. Below the figure, there is an inscription of Greek letters, slightly raised from the surface.
