| Obverse description | Bearded male head facing right, rendered in archaic Sicilian style with pronounced facial features including a broad nose and full beard; the hair is depicted in thick, roughly textured locks swept back from the forehead. The portrait fills the flan with bold, high relief typical of early Siculo-Punic bronze coinage. The field is otherwise plain, with no visible legend or border. |

The bird is rendered with detailed feathering on the folded wings and tail. The ethnic legend ΑΛΟΝΤΙ appears in Greek characters to the right of the eagle, reading downward within the field. |
