| Obverse description | Facing head of Apollo or youthful male deity, rendered in archaic-to-classical Greek style, occupying the central field with hair swept back in loose curls framing the face. The features are naturalistically modelled with large almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. A dotted border encircles the design at the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A fish depicted in profile at the centre of the field, flanked above and below by the civic legend divided across two lines, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches. The fish is a common symbol of this Thracian Chersonese mint town, referencing the importance of maritime trade and fishing to the local economy. The wreath border is carefully rendered with individual leaves visible. |
