Obverse description	Facing male head rendered in a slightly three-quarter turn to the right, executed in the archaic Cilician style characteristic of Mallos coinage. The facial features are boldly modelled with prominent eyes, a broad nose, and full lips. The hair is rendered in a tightly curled or beaded manner framing the face. The flan is irregular and the relief is relatively high for such a small denomination.

Reverse description	Facing female head depicted frontally, set within a recessed incuse square that is a hallmark of early Cilician coinage technique. The head displays carefully rendered hair falling to either side, with stylised locks framing the face. The ethnic inscription MA appears in Greek characters flanking the head within the incuse field, identifying the issuing city of Mallos. The overall style reflects the transitional archaic-to-classical artistic tradition of fifth-century Cilicia.
