| Obverse description | Full-face head of Pan rendered in archaic Greek style, depicted facing the viewer directly at center. The deity's characteristic features are rendered with bold, slightly stylized relief: wild, disheveled hair radiating outward around the face, with hints of animal horns emerging from the crown of the head. The facial expression is serene yet powerful, with almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and subtly parted lips. The flan is irregular and the field is plain, allowing the facing portrait to dominate the entire obverse surface. |

| Reverse description | A prominent fig leaf (sykon) depicted in high relief at center, its deeply lobed form rendered with naturalistic detail, occupying the majority of the incuse square. Small symbols are scattered within the four quadrants of the incuse square: a thunderbolt (or zigzag lightning bolt) to the upper left and lower left, a small circular symbol (possibly a wheel or rosette) to the upper right, and a triangular symbol to the lower center. The legend ΙΔΥΜΙΟΝ is distributed around or within the incuse square, identifying the issuing civic authority of Idyma in Karia. The incuse square itself is slightly irregular, consistent with hammered coinage of this period. |
