Reverse description A triskeles — three bent running legs radiating from a central point — fills the main field of a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Pamphylian coinage. To the lower left, a cock stands alert facing left, a common apotropaic symbol in Greek numismatic iconography. A palm frond is positioned to the right, serving as a secondary decorative and symbolic element. The ethnic inscription ΕΣΤF (an early, archaic rendering of Aspendos) appears within the incuse square, attesting to the civic identity of the issuing city. The incuse square is boldly struck, with the interior design in slight relief against the recessed background.
