Beschrijving voorzijde Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Philip I (Philip the Arab) facing right, seen from the rear in three-quarter perspective, a presentation characteristic of mid-third-century provincial bronze coinage. The radiate crown with pronounced spikes is clearly rendered, while the paludamentum and scale-patterned cuirass are visible at the shoulder and chest. A second, smaller bust is partially visible to the right, likely that of Otacilia Severa or Philip II, a common feature on Amisus civic issues of this reign. The Greek imperial legend encircles the bust in the field. The style reflects the robust but somewhat provincial engraving tradition of Pontic civic mints.

Opschrift voorzijde ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΙΟΥΛ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟϹ
Beschrijving keerzijde Poseidon, the patron deity of the maritime city of Amisus, depicted standing facing left in a heroic, semi-nude pose with his left foot resting upon the prow of a ship. In his right hand he holds a dolphin downward, and in his left hand he grasps a long trident, its shaft extending to the ground beside him. The composition powerfully evokes the city's seafaring identity and its close relationship with the Black Sea. The encircling Greek legend records the city name, its status as a free city (ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΑϹ), the era dating formula (ΕΤΟ), and the regnal year ϹΟΖ (277 of the Pontic era, corresponding to AD 245-246). The reverse field shows heavy wear and the characteristic green-brown patina of a hammered provincial bronze.
