| Obverse description | Bearded head of Herakles facing right, rendered in the characteristic Hellenistic style with curling beard and hair; a taenia binds the hero's head, its ties visible behind the neck. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan, with no border or legend present on this side. The modeling of the facial features is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the civic bronze coinage of the western Pontic region. |

| Reverse description | A corn ear depicted vertically occupies the upper field, flanked by a Heraklean club and a bow in its case, all three symbols arranged as civic emblems of Kallatis. The Greek legend is inscribed between the devices in two lines, reading ΦΙΛΩ above and ΚΑΛΛΑ below, likely representing an abbreviated form of the magistrate's name and the city ethnic. The overall composition is compact and characteristic of the autonomous bronze issues of Kallatis during the Hellenistic period. |
