| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Sicilian Greek style with flowing long hair falling behind the neck. The facial features are finely modelled, with a well-defined eye and strong profile. Partial legend TYNΔAPITAN appears in the field to the left of the portrait, partially visible due to the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Forepart or head of a horse facing right, depicted in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the early third century BC. The horse's mane and facial features are rendered with clear, deliberate strokes. The field is plain, and the flan's irregular shape partially clips the design at the edges. |
