| Obverse description | Bearded head of Herakles facing right, clad in the Nemean lion skin headdress, the scalp knotted beneath the chin. The portrait is rendered in archaic Greek style with bold, simplified modelling typical of early Black Sea colonial coinage. The flan is slightly irregular, with the design centrally positioned within a plain field. |

| Reverse description | Bull standing right, depicted in profile with sturdy proportions characteristic of early Pontic civic coinage. A club is shown beneath or before the bull, serving as a secondary symbol referencing Herakles.
