Beschrijving voorzijde Facing bearded head of the dynast Mithrapata, wearing a satrapal tiara or crested helmet, rendered in archaic three-quarter facing style characteristic of Lycian dynastic coinage. The face displays prominent features including a full beard, large eyes, and strongly modeled nose and lips, executed with the bold yet somewhat schematic relief typical of late 5th- to early 4th-century Lycian workshop practice. A small lion's head or protome appears to the left of the main effigy, a dynastic symbol frequently associated with Mithrapata's coinage. The flan is irregularly shaped and the background field shows the characteristic incuse striations of hand-hammered production. No legend appears on the obverse.

Beschrijving keerzijde Incuse square containing a standing owl facing, rendered in the Athenian tradition, with large round eyes, spread wings partially visible, and taloned feet firmly planted. To the upper left of the owl, a crescent or Lycian symbol is visible, and to the right, two Lycian alphabetic characters forming an abbreviated dynastic inscription. The entire design is set within a shallow incuse square punch, a hallmark of hammered coinage of this period and region. The field around the incuse square shows the rough texture of the hammered flan.
