| Obverse description | A single-handled oenochoe (jug or vase) depicted in profile within a plain field, rendered in archaic relief characteristic of early Pamphylian coinage. The vessel form is rendered with simplified but recognizable contours, with the handle rising prominently to one side. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hammered silver production of the early Classical period. |

| Reverse description | A triskeles motif — three bent legs radiating from a central point in rotational symmetry — set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Aspendian fractional coinage. The abbreviated civic legend EΣ (for Estwediiys or the early form of the city's name) appears within the incuse field alongside the triskeles. The incuse square is characteristic of early Greek hammered coinage technique, with die-cut recesses framing the design. |
