| Obverse description | Veiled and wreathed head of Demeter facing left, rendered in low relief in the Sicilian Hellenistic style. The veil drapes softly over the goddess's hair, which is bound with a grain wreath, emblematic of her agricultural domain. A plow is depicted in the right field, serving as a secondary device reinforcing the agrarian iconography associated with the fertile plains of Leontini. |

| Reverse description | A tied bundle of grain ears displayed upright in the center of the field, rendered with clarity characteristic of late Sicilian bronze coinage. The sheaf, bound at the base, fans outward symmetrically and serves as the primary device, directly referencing the agricultural prosperity of the Leontinoi region. The ethnic legend is disposed around the device in the field, reading partially to the left and partially to the right of the sheaf. |
