Within the circle on the left is a man’s head facing right. He has a long beard, and a wreath of leaves in his hair with tendrils falling down his neck. A curved string of small raised dots decorate the border. The circle on the right depicts a frontally seated nude male with his head looking left and splayed bent legs. He has a beard, spikey headdress, and prominent animal ears. His right hand holds a vessel to his face. Starting at the top of the coin are Greek characters spaced out along the edge spelling N A X I O N.
