Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate head of Zeus facing left, rendered with exceptional detail characteristic of Syracusan artistry; the god is depicted as a mature, bearded male with richly curled hair and beard. A laurel wreath crowns his head, with individual leaves and berries finely modeled in high relief. The legend ΖΕΥΣ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΟΣ (Zeus the Liberator) is inscribed in the field, referencing the liberation of Syracuse by Timoleon. The portrait displays the confident naturalistic style associated with the finest bronzes of the Third Democracy period.

Beschrijving keerzijde A horse shown prancing or cantering to the left in lively three-quarter profile, with forelegs raised and mane flying, conveying vigorous motion. The animal is depicted with musculature carefully rendered, set above a ground line that divides the field from the exergue. The ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ (of the Syracusans) is distributed around the field, partially above and partially below the horse. A small control symbol or mark appears in the lower field to the right of the horse. The composition reflects the long Syracusan tradition of equine imagery on coinage, alluding to the city's aristocratic and athletic heritage.
