| Obverse description | Facing bust of a bearded male figure, rendered in archaic Cilician style, depicted frontally within a dotted border. The figure wears what appears to be a tiara or headband, with the face displaying schematic but expressive features typical of 4th-century BC Cilician civic coinage. A cluster of pellets appears in the upper left field. The overall style reflects the influence of Persian satrapal portraiture adapted by local Cilician workshops. |

| Reverse description | Head of a youthful male deity, likely Ares or a local hero, facing left, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a laurel wreath. The hair is rendered in detailed waves beneath the helmet, and the neck is partially draped. The style reflects the high-quality engraving tradition of 4th-century BC Cilician mints, combining Greek artistic conventions with local iconographic preferences. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage of the period. |
