| Obverse description | Amazon depicted in kneeling-running pose to left, her body turned in three-quarter view, drawing and testing a strung bow held before her. A quiver and bowcase are visible at her side. The figure is rendered in the archaic-transitional style characteristic of Cilician coinage of the fifth century BC, with strong musculature and dynamic posture. The field is plain, and the flan is broad and slightly irregular. |

| Reverse description | A stylized bunch of grapes suspended from a short vine stem with a small tendril, depicted in high relief and rendered in granular, globular style to suggest individual berries. The bunch is enclosed within a dotted square border, which in turn is set within a shallow incuse square typical of early Cilician silver coinage. Partial Greek inscription visible along the inner border of the square, reading portions of the city ethnic. The overall design is bold and schematic, consistent with late fifth-century BC Solian mint practice. |
