On the obverse, it features the laureate head of Hercules (Melqart), with lion skin knotted about neck. It also appears to have active 'bronze disease'.

On the reverse, it reads MH-TPΟ/ΠΟΛ-EωΣ across fields; club surmounted by monogram TYP(Tyre); in field, date ΗΛΣ, and Phoenician letters ltst ('of Tyre'); all within oak wreath.
