Obverse description Bust of Aphrodite facing left, her hair bound in a sphendone, rendered in an archaic-to-early classical style typical of Cilician coinage of the early fourth century BC. The facial features are delicately modeled, with a gently incised eye and soft contours. The sphendone is clearly delineated, enclosing the hair at the nape of the neck. The field is plain and uninscribed.

Reverse description Bearded head of Dionysos turned to the right, rendered in a bold, slightly archaic style characteristic of early fourth-century BC Cilician issues. The god's full beard is rendered with incised curling locks, and his hair falls in thick waves behind the head. The facial expression conveys a dignified, frontal-leaning three-quarter aspect. The field is plain and bears no inscription or symbol.
