| Obverse description | Bare male head in right profile, wearing a crested Attic helmet with cheekpieces and a prominent neck guard, rendered in bold high relief. The facial features are finely articulated, conveying a youthful, martial character consistent with Hellenistic civic coinage of Asia Minor. The flan is irregular and somewhat broad for the denomination, with the design well-centered. No legend appears on the obverse; the field is plain. |

| Reverse description | A helmeted and cuirassed horseman charging to the right, depicted in vigorous motion with a spear leveled in his right hand and a round shield on his left arm. A butterfly symbol appears behind the rider in the left field, serving as a civic magistrate's or mint control mark. The ethnic legend ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ curves around the design, preceded by the monogram or initial M, identifying the issuing city of Kibyra in Phrygia. The composition is typical of the autonomous silver coinage of Kibyra during the Hellenistic period. |
