| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian-style crested helmet adorned with a star or rosette motif on the bowl. The facial features are rendered in a vigorous Italic style, with curling locks of hair visible beneath the helmet rim. A small pendant or earring is discernible below the ear. The field is plain, and the flan shows the characteristic irregular edges typical of Campanian bronze coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A bull standing left, its head turned to face the viewer in three-quarter frontal aspect, a characteristic device of Campanian civic bronzes. Above the bull, a large eight-pointed star or solar symbol dominates the upper field, rendered with bold, stylized rays. The composition reflects the strong Oscan artistic tradition, with the bull serving as the principal civic emblem of the Sidicini people. The legend is distributed around the field. The flan is irregular and the surfaces carry a consistent dark olive-green patina. |
