| Obverse description | Facing head of a male deity, most likely Apollo or a local solar divinity, rendered en face with wavy locks of hair radiating around the visage and framing the face on all sides. The facial features are boldly modelled in high relief, with large, deeply incised eyes, a broad nose, and slightly parted lips bearing traces of an archaic expression. The style is characteristic of the provincial Pisidian die-cutting tradition of the third century BC, displaying a vigorous if somewhat rustic treatment of the human form. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square punch of irregular outline dominating the reverse field, divided by a single raised vertical bar, creating two compartments of unequal size within the incuse area. The surrounding field is heavily granular and textured, a typical feature of hammered Pisidian fractional coinage of this period. No legend, symbol, or additional device is discernible. The fabric is characteristic of small-denomination silver coinage struck at provincial Pisidian mints during the third century BC. |
