| Obverse description | Nude youth seated sideways on a horse prancing to the right, his body turned three-quarters facing the viewer; the rider holds the reins with both hands and appears to dismount or prepare to mount, a characteristic type of Kelenderis coinage. The horse is rendered with naturalistic musculature, its forelegs raised and mane carefully engraved. The exergue features a ground line composed of dotted or linear elements. The composition reflects the fine artistic tradition of Cilician mint engravers of the early fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | A goat rendered in profile to the left, shown in a kneeling or crouching posture with its head turned back to the right, licking its raised right foreleg; the animal is depicted with careful attention to anatomy, including detailed rendering of the fleece and curved horns. A dotted exergual line separates the design from the lower field, below which appears a monogram or control mark. The ethnic legend ΚΕΛΕΝ is inscribed in large Greek characters in the upper field above the goat, identifying the issuing city of Kelenderis in Cilicia. |
