| Obverse description | Nude warrior striding vigorously to the right in archaic style, brandishing a sword in his raised right hand while bearing a round shield on his extended left arm. The figure is rendered with bold, schematic musculature characteristic of early Pamphylian coinage. Between the warrior's legs, a triskeles symbol rotates to the left, serving as a secondary emblem. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with the design contained within a raised border. |

| Reverse description | A triskeles motif in motion to the right occupies the centre of a shallow incuse square, the three bent legs radiating dynamically from a central point in a distinctive archaic rendering. Below the triskeles, a single ivy leaf is depicted as an auxiliary symbol. The Greek inscription EΣT appears in the upper field of the incuse square, representing an early abbreviation of the city ethnic of Aspendos. The incuse square has slightly rounded corners and a granular surface typical of early Pamphylian silver coinage. |
