| Obverse description | A scallop shell rendered in relief, displayed with the ribbed valves fanning upward and the hinge at the base, filling the flan. The shell's radiating ribs are boldly incised in an archaic style characteristic of early South Italian Greek coinage. The design is centered within the irregular oval flan with no surrounding legend or border. |
