| Obverse description | Two nude wrestlers facing each other in the opening stance of a grapple, each reaching forward to seize his opponent. The figures are rendered in an archaic yet vigorous style characteristic of Pamphylian coinage. The Greek letter K appears prominently in the field between them, likely serving as a control mark or magistrate's initial. |

| Reverse description | A slinger strides to the right in a dynamic pose, his body twisted as he prepares to release a sling-bolt, his arm drawn back with the sling extended. In the right field, a triskeles appears in the upper register and a club in the lower register, both serving as secondary symbols or control marks. The ethnic legend of Aspendos is inscribed in archaic Greek characters, running along the field in a characteristic retrograde or irregular arrangement typical of Pamphylian civic coinage. |
