| Obverse description | Facing head of a dynast or deity rendered in archaic style, depicted frontally with pronounced facial features including a bearded visage and large staring eyes. The figure wears what appears to be a helmet or cap, with details of the hair or beard rendered as a series of pellets or globular elements in the lower field. A staff or sceptre is visible to the left of the head. The overall composition reflects the bold, high-relief work characteristic of early Lycian coinage of the late archaic period. |

| Reverse description | Deep incuse square containing a multi-rayed star or starburst pattern, rendered with sharp, well-defined radiating lines emanating from a central point to the corners and edges of the square incuse. The incuse punch is square with slightly irregular borders, typical of early archaic hammered coinage technique. The starburst motif, a hallmark of early Lycian dynastic issues, fills the incuse field completely, with no inscription or additional devices present. |
