| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Julia Mamaea facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Thracian civic coinage. The effigy displays elaborately arranged hair beneath the diadem, with drapery visible at the truncation. The circumferential Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field. |

| Reverse description | A dolphin swimming to the right occupies the central field, flanked by two fish: one above swimming to the right and one below swimming to the left, evoking the rich maritime heritage and fisheries of Byzantion on the Bosphorus. The three-figure marine composition is a hallmark type of Byzantion civic bronze coinage. The circumferential Greek legend naming the magistrate and the city runs around the periphery. |
