| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing an Attic helmet with a prominent upright crest rendered in fine radiating lines. The facial features are rendered in archaic Greek style with a slightly protruding chin and smooth cheek. The cheekpiece of the helmet frames the face closely, and the neckguard is visible below. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with early fourth-century Lycian hammered silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Bearded male head facing right, identified as a satrap or local dynast, wearing a kyrbasia (the distinctive soft pointed cap of Anatolian satrapal iconography). A monogram appears in the field to the right of the portrait. The entire design is set within a border of dots contained within a circular incuse square, a hallmark technique of Lycian dynastic coinage of this period. |
