| Obverse description | Two nude male wrestlers depicted face-to-face in a grappling stance, their bodies rendered in vigorous relief with muscular anatomical detail characteristic of early Classical Greek die-cutting. The figures are shown full-length, leaning into one another with interlocked arms at waist level, conveying dynamic athletic tension. The scene is enclosed within a beaded border that follows the irregular flan, typical of Pisidian civic coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Nude male slinger shown in a dynamic throwing posture, striding to the right with his right arm raised and extended behind his head in the act of releasing a sling, his musculature rendered in bold high relief. To the upper right, an astragalos (knucklebone) appears above a pointed ivy or lance-shaped leaf, serving as subsidiary symbols identifying the civic authority. The retrograde Greek legend ΣΤΛΕΓIΟΝ, denoting the city of Selge, is inscribed vertically to the left of the figure within a beaded border. Below the ground line, in the exergue, a recumbent figure or exergual device is visible. |
