Descrizione del dritto	Laureate head of Apollo Archegetes facing left, rendered in fine Sicilian style with richly detailed wavy hair bound by a laurel wreath; the facial features are classically idealized with a well-defined profile. A partial civic legend is visible along the left field. The portrait exhibits the high-relief modeling characteristic of late Classical Sicilian bronze coinage.

Descrizione del rovescio	Delphic tripod shown in full frontal view, its cauldron supported by three elaborately rendered legs with serpentine decorative elements on the central shaft; the upper rim of the cauldron is surmounted by a ring handle. The Greek legend ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΟΣ is divided across the field, reading vertically on either side of the tripod, identifying the object as sacred to Apollo. The tripod is rendered with precise, symmetrical detail typical of Sicilian civic bronze coinage of the late fourth century BC.
