| Obverse description | Facing head of Helios rendered in high relief, with radiating hair swept to either side in characteristic solar style. A small eagle is superimposed upon the right cheek, serving as a civic emblem of Mylasa. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic craftsmanship, displaying full frontal symmetry typical of the solar deity's iconography in Carian coinage. The field is otherwise plain on this irregularly shaped hammered flan. |

| Reverse description | A rose in full bloom depicted from above, with a long stem and two flanking buds, the principal civic symbol of Carian coinage. The magistrate's name is divided into two pairs of Greek letters — Π and Α to the left, Δ and Υ to the right — placed symmetrically in the four quadrants around the central floral device. The design is boldly struck and well-centered, executed in the standard Rhodian-influenced style prevalent in Mylasan civic issues of the period. |
