| Obverse description | Veiled and wreathed head of Demeter facing right, her hair arranged in loose curls beneath a grain wreath, rendered in a fine Sicilian Greek style characteristic of the mid-4th century BC. The goddess is depicted with naturalistic facial features and delicate drapery at the neck. The Greek legend ΔΗΜΗΤΗΡ appears in the field, identifying the deity. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-hammered bronze coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A bull standing to the right, rendered in profile with musculature indicated by incised lines, occupying the central field of the flan. Above the bull, a bird — likely an eagle — is depicted in flight, a motif frequently associated with Sicilian civic coinage of the 4th century BC. The ethnic legend ΕΝΝΑΙ appears in the field, referencing the mint city of Enna in central Sicily. The overall composition is bold and characteristic of the Siculo-Greek artistic tradition. |
