The effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian civic coinage, with the neck truncation visible at the lower right. A Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the flan. |

The god holds a lyre in his hands, rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition common to Bithynian provincial coinage. The ethnic legend ΚΑΛΧΑΔΟΝΙΩΝ appears in the field below the central type, identifying the issuing city of Chalcedon. |
