Obverse description Draped bust of Aphrodite facing right, her hair bound in a sphendone (cloth headband), rendered within a beaded border. The portrait is executed in a compact archaic-to-early classical style characteristic of Cilician civic coinage, with fine incuse detail despite the diminutive flan.

Reverse description Ithyphallic figure depicted in schematic form, showing a torso surmounted by an erect phallus, rendered in an incuse field. The ethnic inscription ΝΑΓΙ is distributed around the design in four Greek letters, identifying the issuing city of Nagidos in Cilicia. The style is consistent with the abbreviated reverse types common to fractional silver coinage of the region.
