| Obverse description | Diademed male head facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style with finely striated hair pulled back beneath a diadem. The portrait displays strong, idealized facial features with a well-defined jaw and prominent brow, characteristic of late Classical to early Hellenistic civic coinage of the northern Black Sea region. The field is plain, with no legend or additional devices. |

| Reverse description | A Heraklean club depicted horizontally across the central field, rendered in relief with characteristic knotted texture along its length. The Greek inscription XEP above and XOPEIOY below flanks the club, identifying the issuing city of Chersonesos and the magistrate Choreios. The overall composition is typical of Chersonesian bronze civic issues attributing authority to a named magistrate. |
