| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style with flowing beard and hair. The portrait displays strong, mature features characteristic of civic bronze coinage from Pisidia. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The flan shows the slightly irregular edges typical of hammered provincial bronze. |

| Reverse description | Horse striding vigorously to the left, depicted in a dynamic posture with forelegs raised. The ethnic inscription ΤΕΡΜ appears in the lower field below the horse, serving as the civic abbreviation for Termessos. A Pisidian civic year numeral appears in the upper field above the horse, varying by issue. The design is rendered in a bold, abbreviated style consistent with autonomous Pisidian bronze coinage of the late Hellenistic period. |
