| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis Parthenos facing right, rendered in profile with fine archaic Greek style. The goddess's hair is elaborately dressed, gathered at the back with loose locks framing the face, characteristic of 4th-century Tauric Chersonesian coinage. The facial features are delicately modeled with a straight nose and slightly parted lips. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The engraving reflects the high artistic quality of early Chersonesian bronze issues. |

| Reverse description | A Heracles club depicted horizontally in the center of the field, its knotted shaft rendered in relief. Below the club, the abbreviated ethnic legend ΧΕΡ is inscribed in bold Greek characters. The entire design is enclosed within a laurel wreath, the branches tied at the base, framing both the club and the inscription in a composed, symmetrical layout typical of Chersonesian civic bronze coinage of the 4th century BC. |
