| Obverse description | Bearded male head facing right, tentatively identified as Zeus-Serapis, wearing a diadem surmounted by a lotus flower. The hair is rendered in thick, wavy locks falling to the neck, and the beard is depicted with fine, stylized curls in the local Sicilian-Punic artistic tradition. The facial features are boldly modelled in high relief against a plain field. |

| Reverse description | A tunny fish depicted in profile facing right, rendered with fine dorsal and ventral fin detail and a slightly curved body occupying the central field. A partial Greek legend appears divided above and below the fish, reading approximately ΛΑ above and ΣΙΛΣ (or similar) below, consistent with the abbreviated ethnic of Lopadusa. The design is executed in a provincial style typical of small bronze coinage from the Sicilian channel islands during the 4th century BC. |
