| Obverse description | Forepart of Pegasos to left, rendered in archaic Greek style with outstretched wings visible above the body. The winged horse is depicted with considerable detail for the small module, showing the characteristic curving neck and folded foreleg typical of Cilician coinage of this period. The design occupies the full flan, with the irregular edge of the hammered planchet framing the relief. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A goat kneeling to the right with head turned back to the left, rendered in lively archaic style with prominently detailed horns and shaggy mane. The animal's forelegs are folded beneath it in a crouching posture, while the hind legs are extended. The civic ethnic ΚΕΛ (for Kelenderis) appears in the left field in Greek characters. The entire design is set within a shallow incuse circle, characteristic of Cilician hammered silver coinage of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. |
