| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in high relief with a Corinthian or Attic helmet pushed back on the head. The bust is rendered in a sturdy, stylized manner characteristic of Thracian Greek civic bronze coinage. The facial features show a strong profile with defined brow, nose, and chin. The helmet cheekpiece is visible, and traces of the neck and collar are discernible below. The flan is irregular and slightly off-center, as typical of hand-struck issues from this mint. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A trident displayed vertically in the central field, flanked by two lines of Greek inscription divided above and below the trident head. The upper legend reads ΠΡΟΜΑ and the lower legend reads ΚΑΛΛΑ, together forming a magistrate's name (Promas) and an abbreviation of the city name Kallatis. The bold, deeply incised Greek lettering is arranged in two registers around the central device, consistent with Hellenistic civic bronze coinage conventions. The trident is a standard emblem of Poseidon and the sea, reflecting Kallatis's identity as a Black Sea Greek colony. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kallatis, the Dorian colony on the west coast of the Black Sea, maintained an unusually stubborn independence through the Hellenistic period — including a prolonged conflict with Lysimachos in the late 4th century that left the city besieged for years. Small bronzes like this one were the workhorses of local exchange, circulating within a trading economy oriented around grain and salted fish exports to the Aegean world.
The AMNG I-I#246 reference places this within Pick's foundational 1898 corpus of western Pontic bronzes, still the primary reference for Kallatian small coinage.
