| Obverse description | Bare head of Hera facing left, rendered in fine Sicilian Greek style with wavy locks falling to the neck and a stephane (diadem crown) set atop the coiffure. The facial features are delicately modeled, displaying the characteristic idealized profile of 4th-century BCE Sicilian coinage. The ethnic legend ΘEPMITAN runs along the left field. A six-pointed star symbol occupies the right field behind the head, serving as a mint or civic control mark. |

| Reverse description | Bare head of Heracles facing left, clad in the scalp of the Nemean lion whose gaping jaws form a headdress over the crown of the hero's head, the beast's skin knotted beneath the chin. The bust is rendered in bold, confident relief characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the mid-4th century BCE, with strong, masculine facial features. A dotted border circles the design field. |
