| Obverse description | Bearded head of Herakles facing right, clad in the Nemean lion skin headdress, with the scalp of the lion's muzzle visible over the brow and the forelegs knotted at the neck. The facial features are rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic Italic style characteristic of cast bronze coinage. The field is plain, with no legend or border. The flan is broad and irregularly shaped, consistent with the heavy cast aes grave tradition of Apulian Luceria. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing vigorously to the right, depicted in a lively, energetic posture with forelegs raised and tail extended. A six-pointed star appears in the upper field above the horse's back. The design elements are boldly cast in relief, with no encircling legend. The composition is characteristic of the Lucerian aes grave series, referencing the region's strong equestrian traditions and its iconographic connection to Campanian and South Italian coinage. |
