| Obverse description | Facing left bust of the nymph Terina, her hair secured by an ampyx, adorned with a necklace; the effigy is enclosed within a border of olive wreath rendered in fine archaic style.

| Reverse description | Nike, draped in a chiton and himation, seated left upon a hydria; in her extended right hand she holds a wreath, while her left hand grasps a kerykeion. The ethnic legend TEPINAION is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing polis of Terina. The composition exemplifies the refined Hellenistic iconographic tradition prevalent in Bruttian civic coinage of the fifth century BC. |
