| Obverse description | Male head in profile to right, rendered in a plain, archaic style typical of fourth-century Cilician coinage. The hair is depicted in short, wavy locks falling to the nape of the neck. The features are summarily executed, consistent with the diminutive flan and the local die-cutting tradition. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A seated or kneeling figure, possibly a satrap or warrior, depicted facing right and wearing a tiara or crested helmet. The figure holds what appears to be a bow in the left hand and possibly a spear or sceptre in the right, rendered schematically in keeping with the small module of the coin. The design is executed in a typical Achaemenid-influenced Cilician style, with no surrounding legend. |
