| Obverse description | Diademed head of Juno facing right, rendered in low relief with a modest diadem and flowing hair secured at the nape; the goddess is depicted in the Hellenistic tradition typical of South Italian coinage. A control mark in the form of the letter S appears in the left field behind the head. The flan shows characteristic irregular casting edges and a fine green patina consistent with bronze issues of Bruttian Vibo Valentia. |

The Latin colonial legend VALENCIA is inscribed around the lower portion of the design, identifying the issuing city of Vibo Valentia in Bruttium. |
