Obverse description	Bare head of Apollo facing right, with finely rendered wavy hair swept back in ridged striations and a laurel wreath above the brow. The facial features are rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with a well-defined profile, delicate eye, and slightly parted lips. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, characteristic of late Lycian League hammered coinage. No legend appears on the obverse.
Obverse script	Greek

Reverse description	A kithara (lyre) depicted centrally within a shallow incuse square, rendered with careful detail showing the strings and crossbar. The ethnic legend ΛΥΚΙΩΝ appears above the kithara in Greek characters, while the magistrate abbreviation ΚΡΑΓ is distributed around the instrument — Κ and Α to the left, Ρ and Γ to the right — identifying the issuing city of Kragos. The incuse square frame is a hallmark of Lycian League federal coinage of this period.
