| Obverse description | The prow of a galley advancing to the right, its hull rendered in profile with a distinctive beaked ram at the bow fashioned in the form of a boar's forepart, complete with a prominent eye rendered as a circular boss and a pointed snout. The deck rail is delineated by a row of raised pellets along the port side, while horizontal strakes define the hull planking. Two large spherical acrostolia rise above the prow at upper right, characteristic of Archaic Lycian maritime iconography. The entire design is executed in bold, archaic relief typical of late 6th-century BC Pamphylian coinage. |

| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse field, divided by two intersecting raised ridges into four recessed compartments of roughly equal size, each exhibiting an irregular, granular surface consistent with early Archaic punch technique. The incuse is deeply impressed and retains sharp angular definition at the intersections. No legend or additional devices are present, reflecting the standard reverse treatment of early Phaselian silver coinage of the late Archaic period. |
