| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of Sicilian civic coinage of the late third century BC. The portrait displays characteristic curling locks framing the face, with the laurel wreath clearly delineated. The flan is irregular, as is common for hammered bronze issues of this period. The field is largely plain, with surface patination consistent with ancient bronze. |

| Reverse description | Horseman galloping to the right, depicted in the dynamic style characteristic of Sicilian Greek bronze coinage. The rider sits astride a horse shown in full stride, rendered with vigorous outline. The ethnic inscription ΑΛΟΝΤ appears in the field, identifying the issuing community of Alontion. The composition follows conventional iconographic types associated with cavalry imagery on Siculo-Punic and Greek Sicilian issues of this era. |
