| Obverse description | Head of a youth facing right, rendered in archaic-transitional style characteristic of Cilician coinage of the mid-fifth century BC. The hair is depicted in fine incised strands swept back from the brow, with a wreath or band visible along the crown. The facial features are bold and plastic, with a pronounced eye, strong jawline, and fleshy lips typical of the Kelenderis mint's artistic idiom. The neck is bare, and the truncation is cleanly cut. No legend is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | A horse rearing to the left, depicted in a dynamic, prancing pose with forelegs raised, set within a shallow incuse square. The rendering is schematic yet vigorous, consistent with the archaic coinage conventions of Cilician city-states. The horse's mane and tail are indicated by engraved lines, and the overall composition fills the incuse field compactly. No inscription appears in the field. The incuse square has slightly irregular borders reflecting hand-struck production. |
