| Obverse description | Artemis Parthenos, the patron deity of Chersonesos, seated right upon a cippus, holding an arrow horizontally with both hands as she inspects it; to the right, the forepart of a stag standing right. The composition is rendered in a compact, archaic Greek provincial style with crisp, well-defined relief typical of early Chersonesian coinage. |

| Reverse description | A bull charging and butting left, depicted in vigorous relief with musculature clearly articulated, standing above a horizontal club; the entire design is contained within a shallow incuse circle. The Greek legend ΧΕΡ appears in the upper field above the bull, serving as an abbreviated ethnic for Chersonesos, as confirmed by the visible inscription on the coin. |
