| Obverse description | Beardless head of a youthful satyr facing left, rendered in archaic Greek style with characteristic snub nose, pronounced brow, and parted lips. The hair is depicted in thick, flowing locks swept back from the forehead, with a pointed animal ear visible above. The modelling is bold and vigorous, typical of the Panticapaean mint's distinctive treatment of this mythological type. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a griffin facing left, shown with raised forepaw, folded wing with detailed feathering, and open beak, rendered in high relief against a plain field. A grain ear (wheat spike) is depicted in the lower field beneath the griffin's chest, serving as a symbol of the region's agricultural wealth. The Greek inscription Π-Α-Ν, an abbreviation of ΠΑΝΤΙΚΑΠΑΙΟΝ, is disposed around the type, with letters partially flanking the griffin in the field. |
