| Obverse description | Bearded male head in right profile, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style with carefully incised wavy hair falling to the neck and a diadem across the brow. The portrait, likely representing a local deity or river god, displays strong facial modeling with a prominent beard and well-defined features. The entire design is enclosed within a neat border of raised dots. |

| Reverse description | Nude male figure, identified as Poseidon (Neptune), depicted in a dynamic kneeling or squatting stance facing right. The deity holds a trident upright in his left hand while extending his right arm outward, grasping a large fish by the tail. The vigorous composition fills the flan with confident, high-relief engraving characteristic of Sicilian workshop production of the late fifth century BC. |
