| Obverse description | Bare male head in right profile, wearing a crested Attic-style helmet with a prominent transverse crest and cheek guards, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with naturalistic facial features including a well-defined brow, eye, and chin. The neck is truncated cleanly at the lower field. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck provincial silver coinage of the period. |

A cornucopiae appears in the left field behind the rider. The ethnic legend ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ arcs around the reverse field, accompanied by the magistrate's monogram ΜΠ, identifying this issue as a civic emission of Kibyra in Phrygia. |
