A single letter appears to the left of the portrait in the field, serving as a control mark. The ethnic legend ΝΕΟΠΟΛΙΤΗΣ or ΝΕΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ runs along the right side of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Man-headed bull standing right, its human head turned to face the viewer in the characteristic Campanian fashion, symbolizing a river deity. A six-pointed star occupies the upper left field above the bull's back. The design is boldly rendered in high relief, typical of Neapolitan bronze coinage of the late fourth century BC. |
