| Obverse description | Bare head of a male deity or hero facing right, rendered in a bold archaic style characteristic of Pisidian civic coinage. The effigy displays prominent facial features with the hair drawn back, enclosed within a dotted border. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck ancient bronze coinage. The surface carries a dark patina with areas of reddish-brown encrustation typical of long-buried Anatolian bronzes. |

| Reverse description | Sling and astragalos (knucklebone) depicted within a dotted circular border, the two emblems being the civic types strongly associated with the city of Selge in Pisidia. The sling is shown in a curved form occupying the upper field, while the astragalos appears below, rendered in a schematic style. A partial Greek legend is visible along the periphery, though heavily worn. The reverse field displays a dark olive-green patina with areas of corrosion consistent with ancient bronze. |
