| Obverse description | Laureate and draped head of Hekate facing right, with a crescent moon above the brow, rendered in fine Hellenistic style. The hair is elaborately arranged beneath the laurel wreath, with a curl falling before the ear. The magistrate's name ΦΑΝΙΑC appears to the left of the bust, and the title ΚΙΘΑΡ to the right, both within a beaded border. The portrait is naturalistic and of skilled die engraving consistent with late Hellenistic civic coinage of Karia. |

| Reverse description | Nike advancing right, depicted in flowing drapery, holding a wreath extended in her right hand and a palm branch over her left shoulder, rendered in vigorous Hellenistic style. The figure is set within a shallow incuse square field, with the ethnic legend CΤΡΑΤΟ to the left and ΝΙΚΕΩ to the right. The treatment of the garments and the dynamic pose reflect the artistic conventions of late Hellenistic civic issues from Stratonikeia in Karia. |
