| Obverse description | Forepart of a boar advancing left in high relief, rendered in the archaic Greek style characteristic of early Lycian coinage. The animal is depicted with prominent ears, a bristled dorsal ridge, and powerful forelegs, conveying a sense of vigorous motion. A Lycian letter T (trident-like symbol) is incised on the boar's shoulder, serving as a dynastic or civic control mark. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of early hammered silver coinage from western Anatolia. No border or legend is present; the design fills the field entirely. |

| Reverse description | Deep incuse square divided into compartments by a geometric network of incised lines, executed in the hammered incuse technique prevalent in archaic Greek coinage. At the centre of the composition, a large globular boss is prominent, from which two diagonal lines extend upward to form the shape of the Greek letter Lambda (Λ), a symbol associated with Lycian civic identity. The remaining areas of the incuse square are filled with a reticulated pattern of fine intersecting lines, creating a decorative lattice effect. The incuse impression is sharply defined, reflecting careful die-cutting. No legend or additional inscription is present. |
