| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right-facing profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head and adorned with a prominent crest. The goddess's hair escapes in long, flowing curls beneath the helmet nape, and a beaded necklace is visible at the truncation. The rendering is in the fine Hellenistic style, with carefully detailed facial features and a sensitively modeled cheek and jaw. The field is plain, with no legend or subsidiary devices. |

| Reverse description | A winged thunderbolt depicted facing, with two pairs of wings spread symmetrically and multiple zigzag lightning bolts radiating outward from a central boss, creating a dynamic, star-like composition. The Greek legend ΑΓΑΘΟΚΛΕΟΣ appears above in two lines and ΒΑΣΙΛΕΟΣ below, identifying the issuer as King Agathokles of Syracuse. A small control letter or symbol (ΕΥ) appears in the lower exergual area beneath ΒΑΣΙΛΕΟΣ. The overall design conveys royal power through the Macedonian-influenced thunderbolt motif. |
