| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis facing right, wearing a stephane and a veil or headband with flowing drapery, rendered in the Hellenistic style with fine modeling of the facial features. The hair is gathered beneath the headdress with loose strands visible at the nape. The portrait is set within a plain, unadorned field with no legend or inscription. The style reflects the civic coinage traditions of Phrygian mints of the late Hellenistic period. |

| Reverse description | Horseman galloping to the right, depicted as a nude or lightly draped rider on a prancing horse; a second figure, possibly a captive or Nike, appears to the left in the field, holding what may be a palm branch or staff. The composition is dynamic and typical of Hellenistic civic coinage depicting cavalry themes. The ethnic legend ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ appears in the lower field, with the magistrate's monogram ΠΚ above, identifying the issuing city of Kibyra and a monetary official. |
