| Obverse description | Armored horseman advancing to the right, rendered in archaic Lycian style in high relief against a granular field. The rider wears a helmet and appears in martial posture astride a horse shown in a dynamic walking or prancing stance. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with early Lycian hammered coinage. The composition fills the available field, with the horse's body occupying the central register and the rider's helmeted head rising toward the upper edge. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square with a geometric or symbolic design impressed into the flan, typical of early Lycian dynastic coinage of the fifth century BC. The incuse depression, characteristic of the hammered technique employed at this period, features a rough or patterned surface. No legible inscription is present on the reverse, consistent with the coinage of the Lycian dynast Kuprilli prior to the adoption of Lycian-script legends. |
