| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing an Attic helmet adorned with an olive wreath and decorated with an owl above the visor. The goddess's hair falls in loose locks beneath the helmet, and the cheek-guards frame her profile in the archaic Campanian style. |

| Reverse description | A man-headed bull strides vigorously to the right, its muscular body rendered in high relief above a ground line. The humanoid head, bearded and facing right, bears the characteristic features of a river-god deity, likely the Acheloios or a local Campanian river divinity. Above the figure, the retrograde Greek ethnic legend YDINA (reading right to left) arcs across the upper field, identifying the issuing city of Hyria. |
