Obverse description Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in the South Italian Greek style with finely detailed wavy hair bound by a laurel wreath. The neck is bare and the facial features are modelled in the Campanian tradition. A symbol or Greek letter appears in the field behind the head. A dotted border runs along the coin's periphery.

Reverse description A man-headed bull strides to the right, his human head turned to face the viewer — a characteristic Campanian river-god type. Above, Nike flies to the right, extending a wreath to crown the bull. A pentagram appears in the lower field beneath the bull. The composition is characteristic of the Oscan and Greek cultural synthesis prevalent in Campanian bronze coinage of the mid-third century BC.
