| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the late Classical Greek style with finely detailed hair drawn back beneath a laurel wreath. The portrait exhibits strong facial modeling with a pronounced profile characteristic of Campanian bronze coinage of this period. The field is plain and unlettered. |

| Reverse description | Man-headed bull striding right, the human head depicted in profile with characteristic Italic artistic style representing the river god Achelous or a local deity. A dolphin swims rightward above the bull's back, serving as a control symbol and allusion to Neapolis's maritime identity. A partial Greek legend appears to the left of the design in the field. |
