| Obverse description | Bare male head in right profile, wearing a crested Phrygian or Boeotian-style helmet with pronounced neck guard, the crest rendered in bold relief. The facial features are modeled with fine detail, including a prominent nose and strong jaw line characteristic of Hellenistic civic coinage. The bust is truncated at the shoulder, with visible drapery suggesting a cuirass beneath. The field is plain, and the coin is bordered by a ring of raised dots forming a beaded border around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A fully armored horseman, helmeted and wearing a cuirass with pteruges, charges vigorously to the right astride a galloping horse whose forelegs are raised. The rider extends a long spear horizontally to the left in his right hand, the weapon projecting well beyond the horse's chest, while his left arm bears a round shield pressed against his body. Below the horse, between its legs, the ethnic legend is divided in two lines: OP above and ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ below, identifying this issue as a civic emission of the Kibyratans. The composition conveys dynamic martial energy typical of Hellenistic Asia Minor coinage. |
