| Obverse description | Helmeted bust of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with visible neck and draped shoulders. The goddess is rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of Cilician civic coinage. A partial Greek legend appears in the right field. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical ancient patination. |

| Reverse description | Radiate head of Helios facing right, with rays emanating from the crown of the head, rendered in the conventional Hellenistic manner associating the sun deity with civic pride. The face is youthful and idealized, consistent with standard Cilician bronzes of the late Hellenistic period. A Greek magistrate's inscription appears in the field, referencing a named local official. The coin fabric is irregular with a rough, granular surface typical of the series. |
