| Obverse description | Janiform female head, depicted facing with two confronted profiles sharing a common hairstyle of braided or beaded locks surmounted by a central ornament, each face adorned with a circular earring. The double-headed type is rendered in the archaistic style characteristic of fifth-century Cilician silver coinage, with stylized facial features and incised detail. No inscription or legend appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A winged figure — likely a deity or daemon — depicted facing with broad, outstretched wings spread horizontally across the field, the head turned to the left. The figure's body is rendered frontally with schematic feathered detailing on the wings and a striated lower torso or garment visible below. The composition fills the flan and is executed in the compact, bold relief typical of archaic Cilician die-cutting. No legend or exergual inscription is present. |
