| Obverse description | Bare male head in right profile, wearing a crested Attic helmet with cheek guards, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with strong facial modelling. The helmet crest curves prominently over the crown, and the cheek pieces are depicted with careful detail. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. The portraiture displays the athletic, idealized treatment characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A helmeted and cuirassed horseman charges to the right, brandishing a spear in his raised right hand and carrying a round shield on his left arm. Behind the galloping horse, an eagle stands to the right, serving as a civic symbol. The ethnic legend ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Kibyra. The composition is dynamic and reflects the martial iconography typical of Hellenistic civic bronzes and silver issues of southwestern Phrygia. |
