| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet, depicted in profile within a plain circular field. The surfaces are heavily encrusted with dark olive-green and grey patina consistent with prolonged burial, obscuring fine details. The die work, where visible, reflects the compact, archaic-influenced style characteristic of Pisidian civic bronzes of the 3rd century BC. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is largely illegible due to heavy encrustation and surface corrosion covering the entire field. Based on well-documented parallel issues of Selge, the type likely depicts a sling bullet or thunderbolt with the Greek ethnic legend ΣΕΛ or ΣΕΛΓΕΩΝ, though no details are discernible on this particular specimen. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-hammered production methods of the period. |
