| Obverse description | Bearded head of Herakles in right profile, wearing the lion-skin headdress, its jaws rendered in relief over the crown of the head. The modelling is bold and archaic in character, with the facial features — heavy brow, prominent nose, and open mouth — executed in a vigorous provincial style typical of Lycaonian coinage of the late fourth century BC. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with the hand-struck fabric of the issue. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a wolf striding to the right, rendered with schematic but energetic detail, the legs, shoulder musculature, and open jaws clearly articulated. The Greek letter lambda (Λ), an abbreviation for the mint city Laranda, appears in the field. The design is confined within an irregularly shaped, flat flan typical of this small silver denomination, with the incuse strike characteristic of early Lycaonian issues. |
