| Obverse description | Facing head of Herakles, rendered in archaic style, wreathed with branches of styrax and with the skin of the Nemean lion draped about the neck; a Heraklean club is depicted in the left field. The bold, slightly right-turned three-quarter facing portrait is characteristic of Selgean coinage and displays a pronounced plasticity typical of Pisidian engraving. |

| Reverse description | Upright club to the left and a stylized sacred tree (styrax) set upon a stepped altar to the right, with the ethnic legend ΣΕΛΓΕΩΝ inscribed vertically in the central field; a bukranion (ox skull) appears in the right field. The boldly rendered symbols refer to the civic and religious identity of Selge, with the club echoing the Heraklean reverse type and the sacred tree evoking the city's celebrated styrax cult. The design is contained within an irregular, slightly raised border. |
