| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of Carian civic coinage. The laurel wreath is clearly articulated around the deity's hair, with facial features shown in profile. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the type centered within the field. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A bird, identified as an eagle, alighting to the right atop a club, wings partially extended in a dynamic pose. The club is depicted horizontally beneath the bird, a device commonly associated with Heraklean symbolism in Carian and Lycian coinage. The ethnic legend ΥΔΙ ΣΕΩΝ is disposed in the field around the type, referencing the civic authority of Hydisos. The overall design is consistent with the small bronze civic issues of inland Caria during the late Hellenistic period. |
