| Obverse description | A skyphos (drinking cup) depicted in profile view, rendered with ribbed body and two curved handles, centrally positioned within a plain circular border. The vessel is shown in a stylized yet detailed manner characteristic of South Italian bronze coinage of the period, with the flared rim and foot clearly articulated. The field is otherwise plain. |

| Reverse description | A quiver and bow depicted horizontally across the field, with the quiver shown in profile displaying a domed cap and strap detail, and the bow rendered beneath it with its characteristic curved form. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΗΡ (for ΗΡΑΚΛΕΙΑ, Herakleia) appears below the devices, serving as the mint identifier. The composition is typical of the civic bronze coinage of Herakleia in Lucania during the late 4th to early 3rd century BC. |
