| Obverse description | Triskeles symbol displayed within a dotted border on an irregularly shaped flan, rendered in the archaic Lycian hammered style. The central device features three curved legs radiating from a common hub, with a small pellet or annulet visible above the triskeles in the upper field. The border is formed by a beaded or dotted inner ring framing the design, characteristic of early Lycian dynastic coinage. The relief is bold and slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck production of the fifth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square or irregular incuse punch on the reverse, typical of archaic hammered silver coinage of the Lycian dynastic series. The incuse field is roughly square with a slightly granular surface texture resulting from the anvil strike. No figurative type or legible inscription is present on this face, as is standard for small-denomination Lycian silver of this period. The incuse impression is shallow and uneven, reflecting the variable pressure inherent in fifth-century BC hand-hammered technique. |
