| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a forward-swept plume. The hair falls in long wavy locks behind the neck. The effigy is rendered in a Hellenistic style characteristic of Pontic Greek civic coinage of the late second century BC. A dotted border frames the design along the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | A large Macedonian-style shield depicted in relief at centre, shown as a raised circular boss surrounded by a concentric border and dotted inner ring, evoking the characteristic hoplon design. The Greek legend OΛBIO ЄYPH is inscribed around the shield in the field, reading circularly. The entire composition is enclosed within a dotted border, a hallmark of Olbian civic bronze coinage of the late Hellenistic period. |
