| Obverse description | Eagle standing to right with wings spread, head lowered as it tears at a hare prostrate beneath its talons; the composition is rendered in bold, archaic relief characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the late fifth century BC. The field is plain, with no legend or border. |

| Reverse description | Crab viewed from above, depicted frontally with its claws firmly gripping an eel; an octopus is shown in the lower field beneath the crab. Value marks flank the design in the field, consistent with the hexas denomination within the Akragantine bronze litra series. The reverse is uninscribed, relying entirely on civic symbols to identify the issuing authority. |
