| Obverse description | Bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with decorative relief; the neck and shoulder area shows schematic drapery. The portrait is rendered in the archaic-to-classical Greek style typical of Cilician civic coinage, with fine detail on the helmet crest and facial features despite the small module of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Laureate head of Apollo Sarpedonios facing right, with wavy hair bound by a laurel wreath; the portrait displays the refined linear style characteristic of 4th-century BC Cilician silver coinage. A brief Greek ethnic inscription appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Holmoi. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hand-struck issues of this period. |
