| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a turreted mural crown, the towers rendered in detail atop her head. The bust is depicted in a Hellenistic style with visible drapery at the shoulder. The coin surface shows a green patina characteristic of ancient bronze, with the portrait occupying the central field. No legend is present on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Two torches crossed in saltire at the center of the field, their flames indicated at the upper ends, set within a laurel wreath tied at the base. The Greek legend ΑΜΑΣΤΡΕΩΣ appears in the upper portion of the field, with the magistrate's initials or date letters ΓΛ positioned below, referencing the civic era of Amastris. The wreath border frames the design neatly, consistent with Pontic civic coinage of the late first century BC. |
