| Obverse description | Nude youth depicted in the act of dismounting from a rearing horse facing right, rendered in a dynamic, naturalistic style characteristic of Cilician coinage of the early fourth century BC. The figure grasps a whip in his raised right hand, his body twisted in contrapposto as he swings his left leg over the horse's back. The horse is shown in vigorous rearing posture, its forelegs lifted, conveying movement and energy. The letter T appears in the lower field beneath the horse, serving as a control mark or mint initial. |

| Reverse description | A male goat rendered in high relief, shown kneeling on its right side with its head turned sharply back to the left in a characteristic pose found throughout the Kelenderis series. The animal's beard, horn, and musculature are finely detailed, reflecting the accomplished die-cutting tradition of Cilician mints. Above the goat's back, a circular incuse containing the monogram of Alpha (Α) serves as a control symbol. The ethnic legend ΚΕΛΕΝ appears in Greek characters in the upper field, identifying the issuing city of Kelenderis. A dotted ground line runs beneath the goat, delineating the exergual border. |
