| Obverse description | Facing head of Apollo, rendered in archaic Greek style with stylized hair radiating outward, set within a dotted border. The deity's features are depicted frontally, a relatively uncommon convention in ancient Greek coinage, lending the design a hieratic, ceremonial quality. The surrounding field is plain, and the flan exhibits characteristic irregular edges typical of early Thracian Chersonese bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | A dolphin swimming to the right occupies the central field, flanked on the left by a grain ear with drooping leaves, both symbols emblematic of the city's maritime and agricultural character. The ethnic legend ΚΡΙΘΟΣΙΩΝ is inscribed in Greek characters below the dolphin, identifying the issuing community of Krithote. The entire device is set within a linear border, with the overall composition characteristic of late Classical Thracian Chersonese civic bronze issues. |
