Obverse description Bare head of Apollo facing right, rendered in archaic Lycian style with finely engraved wavy hair secured by a tainia (fillet) across the brow. The facial features are boldly modeled with a pronounced profile, almond-shaped eye, and strong jawline characteristic of early fourth-century Anatolian coinage. The hair falls in layered, stylized locks behind the neck. A dotted border frames the design within the irregular flan.

Reverse description Lion seated right in a rearing posture with head turned to face the viewer frontally, right forepaw raised in a heraldic gesture. The musculature of the body is rendered with confident, deeply struck relief, and the mane is suggested by incised lines around the head. The entire device is contained within a plain incuse circle, itself surrounded by a bold dotted border, consistent with Lycian civic coinage of this period.
