| Obverse description | Winged male figure depicted in dynamic striding posture advancing to the right, his large spread wings dominating the field. Both arms are extended forward, clasping a prominent circular solar disk at the center of the composition. The rendering is in a vigorous Archaic-to-Early Classical style characteristic of Cilician coinage of the period, with musculature and feathering rendered in bold relief on the irregularly flan. |

| Reverse description | Swan standing to the left in profile within a recessed incuse square, a device typical of early Cilician silver coinage. The inscription MA appears in Greek letters above the bird, identifying the mint city of Mallos. An ankh-like symbol is placed to the left of the swan in the field, likely a religious or civic badge associated with the city. The incuse square has a slightly irregular outline consistent with hand-struck production of the fifth century BC. |
