Beschrijving voorzijde Youthful male head facing right, identified as Apollo or a heroized portrait of Agathokles, wearing a laurel wreath with detailed foliage rendered in fine relief. The hair is elaborately styled with wavy locks falling behind the neck and across the brow, executed in a Hellenistic idiom reflecting the artistic conventions of early 3rd century BC Syracusan coinage. The facial features are finely modeled with a strong profile, prominent nose, and well-defined chin. The Greek ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ is partially visible along the right field. The overall style is consistent with the high-quality die engraving associated with the workshop of Agathokles.

Beschrijving keerzijde A lion walking or springing to the right in bold relief, its mane rendered with incised hatching and its musculature strongly delineated in the Hellenistic manner. A monogram or control mark appears in the lower field beneath the lion, serving as a mint or magistrate identifier. The exergue line is plain. The composition fills the flan dynamically, characteristic of Syracusan bronze coinage under Agathokles, and the reverse field shows the characteristic patina of a well-circulated bronze issue.
