| Obverse description | Facing right, the veiled and wreathed head of Demeter rendered in low relief in the archaic Sicilian style, with naturalistic facial features visible despite the coin's irregular flan. The goddess's hair falls in waves beneath the wreath, characteristic of early Siculo-Punic artistic influence. |

| Reverse description | A lighted torch depicted upright in the central field, flanked symmetrically by two stalks of grain or wheat ears, one to either side. The design references Demeter's role as goddess of the harvest and the sacred rites of Enna, rendered in a simple but iconographically deliberate composition typical of Sicilian bronze coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |
