| Obverse description | Mounted horseman, identified as possibly Syennesis, advancing to left astride a horse, attired in a kyrbasia (pointed Persian cap). The rider holds a lotus flower in his raised right hand and gathers the reins in his left; a bow in its bowcase is attached to the saddle. A key symbol is visible beneath the horse, and a small eagle perched on a branch appears in the field to the rear. |

| Reverse description | Archer depicted in the kneeling-running posture (knielauf) facing right, a quiver suspended over his shoulder, drawing his bow with arms fully extended. A key symbol appears in the left field alongside the Aramaic inscription 'TRZ' (identifying the mint city Tarsos), the entire design enclosed within a dotted border set within an incuse square, a hallmark of Achaemenid-influenced Cilician coinage. |
