| Obverse description | Bare head of the nymph Aigiste facing right, rendered in archaic-transitional Greek style with finely engraved flowing hair swept back in wavy strands. The facial features are modeled with naturalistic detail, displaying a characteristically Segestian artistic influence. A dotted border runs along the inner rim of the flan to the right of the effigy. |

| Reverse description | A hound standing right, alert and lean in profile, its tail curving upward, rendered in compact relief upon a plain exergual line. A single large pellet appears above the animal and a second pellet below, flanking the figure symmetrically as explicit marks of value denoting the hexas denomination. The entire design is contained within a circular border, with the field otherwise uninscribed. |
