| Obverse description | A horse depicted in a prancing or walking stance facing left, rendered in relief against a plain field. The animal is shown with musculature suggested by the crude but characteristic die-cutting style typical of Thracian Chersonese civic bronzes. A dotted border encircles the design along the coin's periphery. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A kantharos (two-handled drinking cup) depicted centrally in the field, oriented horizontally. The ethnic inscription ΚΑΡΔΙΑ appears divided around the central device, with ΚΑΡ in the upper field and ΔΙΑ in the lower field, all within a linear square border. The incuse technique gives the reverse a recessed, squared appearance characteristic of early Thracian civic bronze issues. |
