| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, wearing paludamentum over cuirass. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Moesian civic coinage of the Antonine period. A Greek imperial legend encircles the bust within the field. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Theos Megas (the Great God, identified with the local Odessan deity) facing left, holding a patera extended over a lighted altar in the right hand and a cornucopia in the left hand. The composition reflects the syncretic religious traditions of the Black Sea coastal cities, combining Greek iconographic conventions with local Thracian cult imagery. The ethnic legend of the issuing city appears in the field. |
