Descrizione del dritto	Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with carefully delineated hair bound by a laurel wreath. A bee symbol appears in the left field behind the head, serving as a civic type-symbol associated with the mint of Tauromenion. The portrait displays strong facial features with a prominent chin and well-modelled cheekbones characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of this period.

Descrizione del rovescio	A bull butting right in an aggressive, lowered-head posture, rendered with dynamic naturalism typical of Sicilian civic bronze issues. The legend ΤΑΥΡΟ above and ΜΕΝΙΤΑΝ below arcs around the bull in two lines, identifying the issuing city of Tauromenion. The design fills the flan robustly, with the bull's musculature clearly articulated. The reverse type alludes to the city's name, as 'tauros' (ταῦρος) signifies bull in Greek.
