| Obverse description | A six-rayed star displayed at center within a beaded inner circle, all set upon a round shield rendered in relief. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border running along the coin's periphery. The shield's boss is suggested by the raised central area from which the rays of the star emanate. The style is characteristic of Pamphylian bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period. |

| Reverse description | A winged kerykeion (caduceus) shown upright in the center of the field, with two serpents entwined around the staff and a pair of outspread wings at the apex. To the left and right of the staff appear the Greek letters Alpha (Α) and Sigma (C) respectively, serving as an abbreviated ethnic for Aspendos. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border. The bold, schematic rendering of the caduceus is typical of Pamphylian civic bronzes of the Hellenistic era. |
