| Obverse description | Facing head of a nymph, turned slightly to the left, rendered in archaic Greek style with broad flat features. The hair falls in thick, wavy locks radiating outward from the face and framing it prominently on all sides. The facial modeling is bold and schematic, characteristic of the Campanian coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A lion advancing to the left in a dynamic, rearing posture, its body rendered with compact musculature and a flowing mane. The tail curves upward over the hindquarters. In the exergue below, a serpent is depicted, a device emblematic of the local Italic coinage tradition. The composition fills the irregular flan with vigorous, stylized energy. |
