Obverse description Prow of a galley advancing to the right, rendered in profile with clearly delineated horizontal oar-banks and a projecting ram at the waterline. The upper portion of the prow features a curved acrostolion with flowing lines suggesting forward motion. The field is plain, and the design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The style is characteristic of Lycian civic bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period, with the galley serving as an emblem of Phaselis's maritime identity and commercial importance.

Reverse description Athena standing to the left, helmeted and draped, extending her right arm forward in a gesture of offering or presentation. A large Greek letter alpha (Α) appears prominently in the central field to the right of the figure, likely serving as a civic control mark or denomination indicator. The goddess is depicted in a striding or standing posture with her characteristic martial bearing. The reverse is enclosed within a beaded border. The monogram ΦΑ, abbreviated from ΦΑΣΗ (Phaselis), together with the control letter, identifies the issuing city and series.
