| Obverse description | Forepart of a ram facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with finely detailed fleece indicated by incised curling locks. The animal's head is lowered slightly, with the musculature and wool texture carefully articulated within the compact flan. The design fills the field with bold, high relief typical of early fourth-century Karian civic coinage. |

| Reverse description | Youthful male head facing right, wearing a wreath of laurel or myrtle with radiating leaves rendered in fine relief. The hair is depicted with carefully incised locks framing the face, exhibiting the naturalistic style characteristic of early Classical Greek engraving. A single Carian letter appears to the left of the portrait in the field. The overall composition reflects the influence of contemporary Hellenic portraiture on Karian civic issues. |
