| Obverse description | Three-quarter facing head of Hera, turned slightly to the right, crowned with a broad ornate stephanos decorated with scroll motifs. The goddess's hair falls in wavy locks to either side of her face, framed by a beaded border encircling the field. The rendering displays the characteristic archaic-to-early classical transitional style, with finely modelled facial features and a serene expression. |

| Reverse description | Bellerophon, wearing a petasos, mounted upon the winged horse Pegasus advancing to the right, lunging forward with a spear to strike the Chimaera, which is depicted prostrate beneath. The Greek ethnic legend ZΕΝΣΕΡ appears in the left field. The composition fills the flan dynamically, conveying vigorous narrative movement characteristic of early fourth-century BCE South Italian die-cutting. |
