| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in low relief with visible traces of the crested helmet; the style is characteristic of late Hellenistic provincial coinage. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination with green and brown encrustation obscuring fine detail. No surrounding legend is visible on this denomination. The die work reflects the small module struck by the Lycian League during its late autonomous period. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing left with wings spread, depicted in a bold, stylised Hellenistic manner within an incuse square border. The bird is shown with head turned, characteristic of Lycian League bronze coinage of this period. The Greek ethnic legend ΛΥΚΙ appears in the field, identifying the issuing authority. The incuse square framing the design is a hallmark of the league's smaller bronze denominations. Patination and surface wear obscure peripheral details. |
