| Obverse description | Bare or helmeted head facing right, rendered in a somewhat crude provincial style characteristic of Oscan coinage of the period. The relief is low and the flan irregular, with the portrait occupying the central field. Surface patination is a deep reddish-brown, consistent with ancient bronze. No visible legend or inscription on this side. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing facing, wings spread, displayed in frontal or three-quarter view, rendered in the local Oscan tradition with bold but somewhat schematic execution. The ethnic legend PALA appears in the lower field in Latin characters, serving as an abbreviated form of the mint city Pallanum. The overall composition is enclosed within the irregular flan, with the inscription distributed around the central device. |
