| Obverse description | Turreted bust of Tyche facing right, depicted as the civic goddess with a mural crown, the drapery visible at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style typical of eastern Roman-period bronzes, with the bust truncated at the base. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show characteristic patination consistent with the small module of the issue. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Astarte (attribution uncertain) depicted en face within or above a galley, holding a cornucopiae in one hand and a wreath in the other, rendered in the schematic style characteristic of small provincial bronzes of the eastern Roman period. The hull of the vessel is indicated by a curved outline beneath the figure. No legible legend is apparent on this heavily worn and corroded example. |
