| Obverse description | Forepart of a boar advancing to the left, rendered in archaic relief typical of early Lycian coinage. The animal's bristled back and powerful haunches are summarily but expressively detailed within the small flan. No legend or inscription appears in the field. The irregular flan and bold relief are characteristic of hand-struck silver fractions of this period. |

| Reverse description | Head and neck of a hound facing right, with a leash or collar visible, set within a recessed incuse square. The canine imagery is rendered in a schematic archaic style consistent with early Lycian dynastic coinage. The incuse square serves as the entire reverse field, with no additional inscription or decorative border. The combination of boar and hound motifs is a well-documented type associated with the Lycian dynasts of this era. |
