| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity facing right, her hair elaborately styled and bound, with loose tresses falling to the neck. The facial features are rendered in a refined Hellenistic style, with a straight nose, parted lips, and a well-modeled chin. The portrait displays the graceful artistic convention characteristic of Pontic and Thracian mint production of the period. |

| Reverse description | The Great God of Odessos (Derzelas) reclines to the left upon two cushions or bolsters, his partially draped figure rendered in the Hellenistic idiom of divine repose. He holds a cornucopia in his extended arm, symbolizing abundance and divine beneficence. An upturned amphora appears in the upper field, and a monogram is placed in the exergue below the figure. |
