| Obverse description | Forepart of a boar advancing to right, rendered in high relief with bold, archaic style. The animal's bristled dorsal ridge is prominently detailed with fine incised lines, and a large oval eye is encircled by a beaded collar or ring. The powerful snout and mouth are clearly articulated, with the forelegs visible below. The design fills the flan with characteristic early Lycian dynastic vigor, with no inscription or legend present in the field. |

| Reverse description | A deeply recessed square incuse punch occupies the entire reverse, divided by two diagonal raised lines crossing at the center to form an X-pattern, creating four triangular compartments within the punch. The resulting quadripartite incuse design is typical of early archaic coinage technique, where the reverse die served primarily as a countermark to ensure metal displacement during striking. The field within each compartment is flat and shows the characteristic surface of hammered silver. No inscription or additional devices are present. |
