| Obverse description | Facing head of Helios rendered in high relief, the solar deity depicted with radiate, windswept hair flowing symmetrically to either side. An eagle is superimposed upon the right cheek, a distinctive iconographic element characteristic of Mylasan coinage. The facial features are rendered in the Hellenistic style, with naturalistic modelling of the eyes, nose, and lips. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered silver issues from Carian civic mints of this period. |

| Reverse description | A rose in full bloom, the civic badge of Mylasa, depicted with petals spread and a bud on a stem to the left, reflecting the longstanding Carian numismatic tradition shared with Rhodes. To the left of the rose, the Greek letter gamma (Γ) appears above a monogram in the field. To the right, the letters omicron (Ο) above epsilon (Ε) are visible, likely representing a magistrate's name or civic abbreviation. The design is set within a plain circular field without an enclosing border. |
