| Obverse description | Nude youth, depicted as a rider, seated upon a rearing horse advancing to the right; the figure is shown in three-quarter view, grasping the reins with both hands and leaning forward dynamically. The horse's forelegs are raised, conveying vigorous motion, with fine detailing in the mane and musculature rendered in high relief. The composition fills the broad, irregularly shaped flan characteristic of Cilician coinage of this period. No legend appears on the obverse. The style reflects the accomplished hand of a skilled Cilician die-engraver active in the early fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | A goat standing to the left in a prancing or kneeling posture, rendered with careful attention to the animal's musculature, beard, and curved horns, all in high relief against a plain field. A floral or plant motif, likely a flower or leaf spray, is depicted beneath the goat in the lower field. The Greek ethnic legend ΚΕΛΕΝ (an abbreviated form of ΚΕΛΕΝΔΕΡΙΤΩΝ) is inscribed in the upper field, reading from left to right in archaic Greek characters. The reverse type serves as a civic emblem of the mint city of Kelenderis on the Cilician coast. The incuse square border frames the composition on this hammered, irregularly shaped flan. |
