| Obverse description | Facing gorgoneion depicted in archaic style, with a broad frontal visage, prominent staring eyes, and protruding fangs at the lower lip. The head is framed by a ring of serpentine coils rendered as a series of raised globular knobs encircling the periphery of the flan. The apotropaic image is boldly struck within the irregular round field, characteristic of the small silver coinage of Selge in Pisidia. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with a raised crest, the facial features rendered in compact, somewhat archaic style consistent with the small module of the coin. An astragalos (knucklebone) is placed in the field behind the head, serving as a civic symbol associated with the coinage of Selge. The design is boldly struck within a plain, irregular round field, with no legend present. |
