| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in bold relief in the Hellenistic style typical of southern Italian bronze coinage. The deity's mature, bearded visage displays well-defined curling locks and a flowing beard. The laurel wreath is clearly articulated across the brow. The surface of the field is plain, with no visible legend or inscription. The engraving reflects the robust artistic conventions of Apulian civic bronze coinage of the early second century BC. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing left on a thunderbolt with wings spread, depicted in a heraldic pose characteristic of Apulian bronze coinage under Roman influence. The bird's plumage is rendered with careful detail, and the talons grip the thunderbolt firmly. Three pellets appear below the thunderbolt in the lower field, denoting the denomination of three unciae. The retrograde legend LADINOD appears to the right of the eagle in the field, representing the Latin name of the issuing community of Larinum. |
