| Obverse description | Two nude male wrestlers grappling face-to-face in a dynamic clinch, their bodies rendered in high relief with naturalistic musculature characteristic of late Classical Greek die-cutting. The figures are depicted in a symmetrical composition, each gripping the other at waist and arm level. The Greek letters ΠO appear in the lower field between the wrestlers' legs, serving as a civic or magistrate abbreviation. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border. |

| Reverse description | A nude slinger depicted in right-facing throwing stance, his body torqued with right arm extended overhead in the act of releasing a sling, conveying vigorous athletic motion. To the right, the forepart of a horse facing right is positioned above a monogram in the field. The legend EΣTFEΔIIYΣ, representing the city ethnic of Aspendos in archaic Pamphylian Greek script, runs along the border. The entire composition is contained within a square of dotted pellets forming a beaded border, a hallmark of Aspendian stater coinage. |
