| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in archaic Oscan style with a crested Corinthian helmet. The surface of the flan is irregular and shows characteristic casting marks consistent with early south Italic bronze coinage. The relief is relatively low, with broad facial features typical of Samnite regional die-cutting. A legend in the Oscan script appears in the field, identifying the issuing community. |

| Reverse description | Standing male warrior figure, depicted facing left in a dynamic pose, wearing military attire including a short tunic and carrying a spear or trophy. The figure is rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial style characteristic of Samnite bronze coinage of the early third century BC. The flan is irregular and the relief uneven, consistent with hammered production. The field is largely plain, with no visible exergual inscription. |
