| Obverse description | Head of Poseidon facing right, wearing a taenia or fillet, rendered in archaic Greek style within a shallow incuse field. The facial features are summarily engraved, characteristic of the small module coinage of the Italiote Greek colonies. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of hammered issues of this period and denomination. |

| Reverse description | Eagle displayed with spread wings, standing facing, rendered in incuse relief in the archaic Sybarite tradition. The bird's plumage and talons are summarily indicated. The retrograde or abbreviated civic legend ΣYBA appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Sybaris (Thourioi), with the design occupying the full available flan surface. |
