| Obverse description | Bearded male head in right profile, likely depicting Zeus or a local river god, with finely rendered wavy hair swept back from the forehead and a full, naturalistic beard rendered in the severe style characteristic of Cilician coinage of the late fifth century BC. The portrait fills the field without a bordering inscription, displaying strong plastic modeling typical of the period. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck silver issues of the region. |

| Reverse description | A seated deity, likely a goddess or enthroned figure, rendered within a recessed incuse square, shown in a three-quarter or frontal position with draped garments rendered in deeply struck folds. The figure appears to be holding an attribute, though surface wear renders precise identification difficult. The composition is characteristic of Cilician staters from Mallos, with the incuse square providing the standard reverse field for hammered coinage of this period. |
