| Obverse description | Galley prow depicted facing right, rendered in profile with oar-rail and hull clearly delineated. Above the prow, Nike flies to the right, extending a wreath to crown the prow in a gesture of maritime victory. The design is set within a dotted border encircling the irregular flan. The composition reflects Phaselis's strong maritime identity and commercial prowess as a Lycian coastal city. |

| Reverse description | Athena stands facing right in a dynamic pose, her right arm raised and brandishing a thunderbolt, her left arm extended and bearing the aegis. The goddess is depicted in full figure, helmeted and draped, conveying martial authority. The ethnic abbreviation ΦΓ (for Phaselis) appears in the field, flanking the figure. The design is enclosed within a dotted border and the flan is characteristically irregular, consistent with Hellenistic municipal bronze coinage of Lycia. |
