Beschrijving voorzijde Facing right, the bare head of a nymph rendered in fine archaic-transitional Greek style, her hair elaborately waved and swept back, bound with a wreath or diadem, with loose curling locks falling behind the neck. The modeling of the facial features is delicate, with a pronounced eye, gently parted lips, and a subtly rendered cheek. The field is plain, with no legend, the design filling the flan in the characteristic manner of early Campanian coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde A man-headed bull, representing the river-god Acheloos, striding to the right above a plain exergual line, his bovine body rendered with considerable plasticity and his bearded human head turned slightly toward the viewer. Above the figure in the upper field, the partial Greek legend ΝΕΟΠ (here visible as ΝΕΟΠ) identifies the issuing city of Neapolis. The composition closely follows Campanian iconographic conventions, with the man-headed bull serving as a powerful symbol of the city's association with local river and fertility cults.
