| Obverse description | Campanian helmet facing right, rendered in high relief with a distinctive rounded bowl and prominent cheek guards; the visor and neck guard are clearly articulated, reflecting the characteristic form of Oscan-Campanian military equipment. The type served as an emblematic reference to the Campanian mercenary settlers who controlled Entella. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the right, depicted with outstretched wings spread upward and forelegs extended in a vigorous gallop; the musculature of the body is rendered with bold, plastic modeling characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the late 4th century BC. Beneath the winged horse, a dolphin serves as a secondary type, alluding to the maritime setting of the mint. The field is otherwise plain, with no encircling legend. |
