| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed head of Hieronymus facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with curly hair secured by a royal diadem whose ties fall behind the neck. The youthful portrait is executed with considerable artistic sophistication, displaying naturalistic facial features characteristic of late Syracusan coinage. The bust is bare, and the portrait is set within a beaded border encircling the coin's field. This effigy is notable as one of the very few surviving contemporary portraits of Hieronymus, the last king of Syracuse. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A thunderbolt rendered in fine detail occupies the central field, depicted horizontally with stylized wing-like volutes and flame projections radiating outward from the central shaft, a symbol of divine Macedonian royal authority. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΟΣ is inscribed above the thunderbolt in two lines, with ΦΙ appearing at the center, and ΙΕΡΩΝΥΜΟΥ below, the full inscription reading 'of King Hieronymus.' The legend is distributed around the central device within a plain border, with letters of good archaic Greek epigraphic form. The thunderbolt motif deliberately evokes the imagery of Alexander the Great and the Macedonian royal tradition, asserting Hieronymus's claim to Hellenistic kingship. |
