| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, a boar advancing to the right in the upper field, depicted with naturalistic musculature and bristled back; below, a second boar or sea creature advancing to the left, the two figures occupying the full flan in a dynamic, confronted arrangement characteristic of early Lycian dynastic coinage. The design is rendered in high relief with confident archaic draftsmanship. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square with a dotted border enclosing a triskeles motif — three curved legs radiating from a central pellet — rendered in shallow incuse relief within a recessed square compartment. The triskeles, a hallmark device of Lycian dynastic issues under Kuprilli, is boldly executed, with each leg curving elegantly outward to fill the incuse field. The overall composition reflects the characteristic geometric artistry of mid-fifth century BC Lycian coinage. |
