| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Selge was an unusually tenacious city in the Pisidian highlands — it held off Alexander the Great's forces during his Anatolian campaign, negotiating terms rather than falling by siege. Its independent coinage continued through the Hellenistic period largely because the city remained effectively self-governing long after surrounding regions submitted to Macedonian and later Seleucid authority.
The trihemiobol denomination — three half-obols, or one-and-a-half obols — reflects the fractional silver coinage conventions of interior Anatolia, where small-denomination pieces served local market exchange rather than long-distance trade.
