| Obverse description | Forepart of a boar advancing to right in high relief, rendered with characteristic archaic naturalism; the bristled dorsal ridge is prominent and finely detailed, with a dotted collar or necklace visible at the neck. The animal's musculature and facial features, including the eye and snout, are boldly modeled within the irregularly shaped flan. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A triskeles — three bent legs radiating from a central boss — depicted in relief within a recessed square incuse punch, a hallmark of early Lycian dynastic coinage. The three legs are arranged in rotational symmetry, with hatched or striated detailing visible on each limb. Lycian inscription letters appear in the corners of the incuse square, associated with the dynast Ekuwemi. The incuse technique reflects archaic Greek minting practice of the late sixth to early fifth century BC. |
