| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse depicts the river-god Selinos, represented as a youthful male figure astride a bull moving to the right, rendered in high relief with exceptional artistic quality characteristic of the Sicilian engraving tradition of the mid-fifth century BC. The rider grasps the bull's horn with his right hand while his body twists dynamically, conveying vigorous movement. A selinon (wild parsley) leaf, the civic emblem of Selinos, appears in the field to the left. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with the irregular flan displaying the bold, confident modelling typical of the finest Sikeliote coinage of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a standing nude male figure, identified as the river-god Hypsas or alternatively as Apollo, facing frontally with head turned slightly to the right, rendered in the severe style with finely articulated musculature. In his extended left hand he holds a libation phiale, while his right hand grasps a branch of selinon (wild parsley). To the left stands an altar decorated with a serpent and surmounted by a triangular pediment with acroteria, symbolising a sacred precinct. To the right, a heron or crane stands on the ground beside a flying eagle above it, both serving as auspicious religious symbols. The partial legend ΣΕΛΙΝΟΝΤΙΩΝ runs along the upper periphery of the field. |
