| Obverse description | Two nude wrestlers grappling at centre, each bending forward with arms interlocked in a clinch; the figures are rendered in high relief with musculature carefully delineated in the archaic-classical style. The scene is set within a plain circular field bordered by a beaded or dotted inner ring. The Greek letters ΑΜ appear in the lower field between the wrestlers' legs, serving as a mint or magistrate abbreviation. |

| Reverse description | A nude slinger striding vigorously to the right, depicted in dynamic three-quarter pose with his right arm drawn back and a sling raised overhead, and his left arm extended forward; a triskeles symbol appears to the right in the field. The figure is rendered in confident classical relief within a dotted border. The Greek ethnic legend ΕΣΤϜΕΔΙΙΥΣ (retrograde or standard, reading as the city ethnic of Aspendos) is inscribed vertically along the left side of the field. |
