| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing an Attic helmet adorned with a wreath and decorated with an owl on the bowl. The rendering is in the early Classical style characteristic of Campanian coinage, with fine engraving of the facial features and helmet crest. |

| Reverse description | A man-headed bull — the personification of a local river deity — depicted advancing to the left, rendered with vigorous modeling in high relief. The bull's body is naturalistically detailed with musculature and tail raised, while the bearded human head turns to face the viewer. A ground line appears beneath the figure, and the ethnic legend YDINAI is inscribed in archaic Greek characters above in the upper field. |
