| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair and beard in the Hellenistic style. A laurel wreath crowns the deity's head, with individual leaves clearly articulated. Behind the head, the letter B appears in the left field alongside a scepter depicted vertically. The portrait exhibits strong, mature facial features characteristic of Zeus iconography in Lycian coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing right, wings closed, perched upon a thunderbolt rendered diagonally. In the left field, the letter Γ serves as a control mark. To the right of the eagle, a sword is depicted behind a round shield, referencing the military and civic identity of the issuing city. The composition is bold and well-centered, consistent with Hellenistic Lycian civic coinage of the late third to early second century BC. |
