| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in high relief with a crested Corinthian-style helmet. The facial features are rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial Italic style characteristic of Samnite-area bronzes of the late 3rd to early 2nd century BC. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hand-struck issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | A dolphin depicted in a sweeping curve, coiled to the right with its tail curving upward, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The Oscan legend LADINOD, rendered in Latin characters and meaning 'of Larinum' (genitive form), appears horizontally below the dolphin. Two pellets, denoting the denomination of two unciae, are placed beneath the legend in the lower field. The overall composition is typical of South Italian bronze coinage of this era. |
