| Obverse description | Head of Aphrodite facing right, hair bound and drawn back, rendered in archaic Sicilian style with fine detail. Partial ethnic legend in Greek characters arranged around the field. The portraiture is characteristic of early Siceliote coinage, with clean lines and a slightly stylized treatment of facial features. |

| Reverse description | A hound or dog in a crouching or recumbent pose, depicted in left profile with naturalistic musculature rendered in low relief. The animal occupies the central field of this small hammered flan, with the surrounding field plain and unadorned. The style is consistent with Siculo-Punic artistic conventions of the late fifth century BC. |
