| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detailing of the hair and beard typical of late Hellenistic provincial coinage. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, with the laurel wreath clearly visible encircling the deity's head. The surfaces show the characteristic irregular flan edges of hammered coinage from this region and period. |

| Reverse description | An upright cornucopiae (horn of plenty) depicted in the center of the field, flanked by the Greek letters of the civic abbreviation SAGA — with letters distributed around the device, reading ΑΓΑΛ above and ΣΑ below to left — with a single letter alpha (Α) also visible to the upper left. The design is characteristic of the civic bronze and silver issues of Sagalassos in Pisidia, employing the cornucopiae as a symbol of civic prosperity. |
