| Obverse description | Bull standing left, rendered in archaic Greek style with musculature indicated by incised lines; a single wheat ear lies beneath the animal. A civic monogram appears in the upper field before the bull. The flan is irregular, typical of early fourth-century Bithynian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Three upright grain ears bound together at the stem, their heads splaying outward in a fan arrangement, flanked in the left field by a large lunate crescent symbol. The composition fills the flan and reflects the agricultural prosperity and fertile hinterland for which Kalchedon was renowned in antiquity. |
