Beschrijving voorzijde Lion advancing to the right in a highly schematic, archaic style characteristic of Achaemenid-period Cilician fractional coinage. The feline's body is rendered with pronounced musculature suggested by pellet-like beading along the haunches and shoulder, with the head turned forward in a frontal pose. The field is flat and unadorned, consistent with the small module of this obol denomination. The design is boldly struck despite the irregular fabric of the flan.

Beschrijving keerzijde Bearded male figure, likely the satrap Mazaeus or a deity, depicted in a schematic style in the field. The reverse shows what appears to be a seated or striding figure rendered in the cursory linear manner typical of Cilician fractional silver of the Achaemenid period. Additional linear elements and possible Aramaic inscription traces appear in the field, though the small module and worn surfaces render precise identification difficult. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered production on an irregular planchet.
