| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a griffin device on the bowl. The rendering is in the South Italian Greek tradition, with carefully detailed facial features and helmet crest rising prominently above the head. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Eagle displayed with wings spread, standing left atop a thunderbolt; in the right field, the letter Γ (gamma) appears above a rudder, serving as a control mark or magistrate symbol. The eagle, a symbol of Zeus, is rendered in a bold, confident style characteristic of Bruttian coinage of the late third century BC. The ethnic legend BPETTIΩN arcs around the design, identifying the issuing people. |
