| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with long, flowing locks cascading behind the neck. A bay-leaf wreath crowns the deity's head, its branches rendered with naturalistic detail. In the right field, a plectrum is depicted as a subsidiary symbol. The portrait exhibits the idealized, youthful facial features characteristic of late South Italian Greek coinage. A beaded border encircles the type. |

| Reverse description | A tall Apolline tripod cauldron set upon a slender, elegantly articulated shaft with a broad base, flanked on either side by a tall stalk terminating in a laurel branch with budding foliage; the cauldron is surmounted by a circular crosshatched disc handle. The ethnic legend ΡΗΓΙ to the right and ΝΩΝ to the left is divided by the central device, reading ΡΗΓΙΝΩΝ (of the Rhegines) in Greek characters. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. The type is a hallmark of Rhegion's civic bronze coinage of the late third century BC. |
