| Obverse description | Bearded male head in right profile, wearing a satrapal tiara with characteristic curved apex; a circular hoop earring is visible at the ear. The effigy is rendered in bold relief in the archaic style prevalent among Cilician satrapal mints of the mid-fourth century BC. A beaded border frames the design within the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of Pegasos advancing to right, with the near foreleg raised in a prancing posture and the folded wing prominently arched above the body; finely engraved feather striations articulate the wing surface. A dotted ornamental collar is visible at the chest. The figure is struck in high relief on a plain field, consistent with the Cilician satrapal workshop tradition of the mid-fourth century BC. |
