| Obverse description | Bare or laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in archaic Greek style with fine facial features visible despite significant surface patination. The portrait occupies the central field of the flan and displays the characteristic profile treatment typical of Black Sea regional bronze coinage of the late Classical period. The flan is irregular and compact, consistent with hand-struck provincial issues of this era. |

| Reverse description | A bird, most likely a goose or crane, depicted standing and facing left in the field, rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of small bronzes from this region. The creature is shown in full profile with its body occupying the majority of the reverse field. The type is consistent with the civic iconography of Leukai as documented in SNG BM Black Sea and HGC references. No visible legend is present, and the rough, irregular flan bears evidence of hand-hammered production. |
