| Obverse description | Youthful head of Dionysos facing right, adorned with an ivy wreath composed of leaves and berries, with long curling hair falling behind the neck. A crescent symbol appears in the upper field above the head. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic style with fine facial detail, displaying a softly modeled visage characteristic of late Classical and early Hellenistic civic bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | A grapevine with spreading branches, broad lobed vine leaves, and prominent bunches of grapes depicted across the field, the whole filling the coin's flan in a lush, naturalistic composition. The abbreviated civic legend appears in the lower portion of the field, referencing the city of Dionysopolis. The design is rendered in bold relief typical of Hellenistic bronze civic issues from the western Pontic region. |
