| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in archaic style with the characteristic Attic crested helmet pushed back on the skull. The facial features are boldly modeled with strong relief, and the lower edge of the helmet bowl frames the goddess's face. The surface of the flan shows characteristic hammered fabric with irregular edges typical of Pisidian coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Facing three-quarter bust of bearded Herakles to right, wearing the Nemean lion-skin headdress, the scalp and paws of the pelt rendered in detailed relief over his head and shoulders. The hero's full beard is rendered with fine curling strands, and his strong facial features are executed with considerable artistic skill. The design is set within a shallow incuse square, a technique characteristic of Pisidian civic coinage of the late fifth and early fourth century BC. |
