| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet with a prominent raised crest; the facial features, rendered in a bold provincial style, are visible in three-quarter profile. The cheek guards of the helmet frame the goddess's face, and traces of drapery are discernible at the neck. The flan is irregular and the relief is moderately worn, consistent with the hammered bronze coinage of the western Pontic region. |

| Reverse description | A Heraklean club is depicted horizontally across the upper field, with a grain stalk or ear of wheat positioned below it in the lower field, together symbolising the civic and religious identity of Kallatis. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΚΑΛΛΑ appears between the two devices, while the magistrate's name or divine epithet ΔΙΟΝΥ is inscribed above the club. The design is arranged in a compact, structured layout typical of late Classical and early Hellenistic bronze civic coinage of the western Black Sea colonies. |
