| Obverse description | Diademed female head in right profile, adorned with a stephane and wearing a beaded necklace or ring, all within a beaded border. The hair is rendered in fine parallel striations swept back beneath the diadem, with a loose lock falling before the ear. The portrait displays the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of Thracian civic coinage of the early third century BC. |

| Reverse description | The Great God of Odessos (identified with the Thracian rider deity) reclines to the left upon two cushions, his body in a semi-supine position; he holds a cornucopia in his extended arm. An upturned amphora appears in the upper field above the figure. The composition follows the standard iconographic formula established for this Thracian divinity in the civic bronze coinage of Odessos. |
