| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, depicted from a three-quarter rear perspective, with youthful features characteristic of his early portraits. The legend encircles the bust within the field, identifying the subject as Publius Septimius Geta Caesar. The die work is typical of provincial bronze coinage from Heraclea Pontica, with modest but recognizable portraiture. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of fortune and patron deity of the city, stands facing left in long robes, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, symbols of prosperity and maritime commerce befitting Heraclea's position on the Black Sea. The figure is rendered in a conventional provincial style with a dotted border encircling the design. The Greek civic legend naming Heraclea in Pontus surrounds the type. |
