| Obverse description | Veiled and draped bust of Demeter facing right, rendered in relief within a dotted border. The veil falls softly over the hair and shoulders, characteristic of Sicilian Hellenistic die work. A six-petalled star or rosette is placed in the left field behind the bust, serving as a religious or civic symbol associated with the goddess. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered bronze coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Athena portrayed in full standing figure, turned to the left, clad in a long chiton and aegis, holding an upright spear in her right hand and a round shield resting at her left side. The goddess is rendered in a hieratic, frontal-leaning stance typical of Hellenistic civic bronze coinage of Sicily. The Greek ethnic legend ΘΕΡΜΙΤΑΝ is inscribed vertically in the right field, identifying the issuing community of Thermai Himerensis. The design is contained within a dotted circular border, with the fields showing characteristic green patination. |
