| Obverse description | Nude ephebic rider seated sideways upon a prancing horse moving to right, holding the reins in his raised left hand and a goad in his right; the figure is depicted in the act of preparing to dismount and run alongside the horse, a scene characteristic of the apobates tradition. The musculature of both horse and rider is rendered with fine attention to naturalistic detail in the Classicising style of Cilician coinage. The field is plain, with no border or legend. |

| Reverse description | A billy goat rendered in high relief, kneeling to left with head turned back to right, its long curved horns and beard rendered with careful detail. The animal is posed upon a plain ground line, enclosed within a beaded border. Above the goat in the upper field, the Greek ethnic inscription ΚΕΛ identifies the mint city of Kelenderis in Cilicia. The reverse type is a longstanding civic symbol of the city. |
