| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded male head in right profile, rendered with fine detail in the Hellenistic tradition. The hair is depicted in tightly incised parallel locks beneath a wreath, with curled beard naturalistically modeled. The portrait, likely representing Zeus, fills the central field without inscription, exhibiting the confident die-cutting characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage of the late second to early first century BC. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing right atop a thunderbolt, wings partially spread, head turned to face right with open beak, rendered in a compact, vigorous style. To the right stands a scepter or long staff. The ethnic legend ΛAOΔIKEΩN is inscribed vertically along the left field, with control letters ΣΚ visible in the lower right field. The composition reflects standard Hellenistic civic bronze iconography associating the city with Zeusian symbolism. |
