| Obverse description | Prow of a galley facing right, rendered in low relief with clearly delineated oar banks visible along the hull. The prow projects boldly into the right field, consistent with the civic coinage tradition of Phaselis, a Lycian coastal city whose economy and identity were closely tied to maritime commerce. The surface exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and rough texture typical of small hammered bronze issues of the Hellenistic period. |

| Reverse description | Stern of a galley depicted in left profile, with the curved sternpost and aphlaston visible above the hull. The design mirrors the obverse prow motif, together forming a unified nautical iconographic program emblematic of Phaselis's identity as a prominent seafaring and trading city on the Pamphylian-Lycian coast. The flan is irregular and somewhat worn, with a granular bronze surface characteristic of small Hellenistic civic bronzes. No legible inscription is discernible on this specimen. |
