| Obverse description | Artemis Parthenos depicted in a crouching posture facing right, rendered in bold relief in the local Chersonesean style. The goddess holds an arrow in her extended right hand and a bow in her left, her figure compact and energetic. The design is set within a broad, plain field characteristic of early Chersonesean bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | A griffin springing dynamically to the left, depicted with outstretched wings, a muscular leonine body, and raised forepaws, rendered in bold high relief. The Greek magistrate's name BAΘYΛΛO (Bathyllo) is inscribed in the upper field above the griffin, while the civic ethnic abbreviation XEP (for Chersonesos) appears in the lower field beneath the creature. The overall composition fills the flan assertively, consistent with the civic bronze coinage of Tauric Chersonesos of this period. |
