Obverse description	Janiform double head rendered facing, comprising two conjoined male bearded heads shown in three-quarter view, their beards merging at the centre; both faces display archaic stylistic features with deeply incised eyes, prominent brows, and carefully striated beards. The coin field is plain, with no legend or inscription. The die-work is bold and competent, characteristic of Cilician mint production of the early fourth century BC.

Reverse description	Triform bearded male head, presenting three conjoined faces arranged so that profiles face left and right while a frontal visage occupies the centre; all three faces are bearded and rendered in the archaic Cilician style with incised detail. The field is plain and uninscribed. This unusual triform type is a hallmark of uncertain Cilician civic issues of the early fourth century BC.
