| Obverse description | Heracles depicted nude, striding vigorously to the left, right arm raised brandishing a club overhead in a dynamic, archaic artistic style. Beneath the heroic figure, a small dog stands to the left with its head raised upward toward the hero, serving as an identifying attribute. The composition fills the flan with strong, confident relief characteristic of early Lycian silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | A bold triskeles motif — three curved legs radiating from a central hub in rotational symmetry — occupies the entire field within a beaded or dotted circular border. The entire design is set within a recessed incuse square or circle, a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage technique. The triskeles, a traditional Lycian emblem of power and solar symbolism, is rendered in high relief against a flat incuse ground, with clearly defined curved limbs meeting at a raised central pellet. |
