| Obverse description | Two confronted foreparts of boars conjoined at the hindquarters, their bodies intertwined to form a symmetrical device, with a triskeles positioned centrally between them. The boars are rendered in a vigorous archaic style with carefully detailed musculature. A dotted exergual line runs below the composition. The design fills the flan with bold, confident die-cutting characteristic of early Lycian coinage. |

| Reverse description | A triskeles depicted in bold relief within a dotted square border, the whole set within a deeply incuse square. The three curved legs of the triskeles radiate dynamically from a central boss, rendered in a robust archaic style. The incuse square technique is typical of early fifth-century BC Greek coinage of Asia Minor. The dotted inner border frames the device precisely within the recessed field. |
