| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, clad in the Nemean lion's skin headdress, the scalp knotted beneath the chin with forepaws visible at the neck. The facial features are rendered in a bold archaic-to-early-classical Sicilian style, with the mane of the lion's skin framing the hero's head. The flan is irregular, typical of early Sicilian bronze coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A hippocamp depicted in left profile, shown in a rearing posture with the forequarters of a horse and a coiled fish-tail body terminating in a swept fin. The wings are folded along the body, and the musculature of the equine forepart is rendered with confident incised lines. The design occupies the central field of the irregular flan, with the area around largely plain and unadorned. |
