| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with flowing wavy hair swept behind the ear and falling to the neck. The portrait is boldly modelled in high relief, with strong facial features typical of late 4th-century BC Pontic mint coinage. The field is plain, and the flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-struck production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Horse's head facing left in three-quarter view, depicted with naturalistic musculature and a maned neck, rendered in a style characteristic of Black Sea Greek colonial bronze coinage of the early Hellenistic period. Below and to the left, a palm frond or branch motif is visible in the field. The ethnic inscription ΤΥΡΑ appears in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Tyra on the Pontic coast. |
