| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair and beard in the Hellenistic tradition. A thunderbolt symbol is visible over the shoulder. The portrait fills the flan with bold, confident engraving characteristic of Lycian civic coinage of the late third to early second century BC. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing right with wings spread, perched atop a thunderbolt displayed horizontally. The eagle is depicted with bold, stylized feathering and turns its head slightly, conveying a sense of imperial authority. The ethnic inscription ΟΙΝΟΑΝ is arranged in two lines to the right of the eagle, identifying the issuing city of Oenoanda. The composition is typical of Lycian civic coinage drawing on Ptolemaic and Seleucid iconographic conventions. |
