| Obverse description | Baaltars (Ba'al of Tarsus) seated in three-quarter view to the right upon a throne, depicted as a bearded male deity wearing a helmet, his right arm raised and extended forward in a gesture of authority, his left hand resting on the throne. The figure is rendered in the compact, energetic style characteristic of Cilician civic coinage of the late fourth century BC. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A forepart of a wolf or wild boar in vigorous motion to the left, rendered with considerable vitality, the animal's powerful forelegs and clawed feet extended forward as if in mid-stride or leaping. The design is contained within a beaded rectangular border on three sides with a plain baseline, executed in the bold, abbreviated style typical of small-denomination Lycaonian and Cilician civic bronzes and silver of the period. |
