| Obverse description | A nude, helmeted warrior strides to the right in a dynamic martial pose, grasping a spear in his raised right hand while bearing a large round shield on his left arm. A small turtle is depicted between his legs in the lower field, serving as a secondary device characteristic of early Aspendian coinage. The figure is rendered in the vigorous archaic style typical of Pamphylian silver issues of the fifth century BC. |

A lion strides to the right in the lower field behind the triskeles, rendered with careful attention to musculature in the archaic tradition. The ethnic abbreviation EΣT appears in the upper right field within a raised rectangular tablet, identifying the issuing city of Estfediiys (Aspendos). The composition is bold and well-centered within the incuse square border. |
