| Obverse description | Facing bucranium (ox skull) garlanded with a dotted wreath or floral garland, rendered in bold relief against a plain field. The skull is depicted frontally with prominent horns splayed to either side. Scattered pellets surround the central device, possibly representing decorative elements or a border treatment. The flan is irregular and characteristically thick for a small provincial bronze issue. |

| Reverse description | Triskeles motif composed of three bent legs radiating from a central pellet, the limbs arranged in rotational symmetry. The device is set within a border of pellets encircling the field. The triskeles is a common symbol on Pisidian civic bronzes, associated with solar or apotropaic symbolism. The type is crudely but boldly struck, consistent with the local die-cutting tradition of interior Pisidia. |
