| Obverse description | Facing head of a male figure rendered in archaic style, occupying nearly the full field of the flan. The face is depicted frontally with large, pronounced eyes, a broad nose, and slightly parted lips. The hair is rendered in stylized, layered striations across the top of the head, characteristic of South Italian coinage of this period. The modeling is bold and deeply struck, conveying a strong plastic quality despite the small module of the coin. |

| Reverse description | A man-faced bull depicted in profile to the right, rendered in the characteristic Campanian style associated with this series. Below the bull, a large lunate symbol or crescent is visible, along with scattered ethnic letters in archaic Greek script arranged around the central devices. A smaller secondary symbol appears in the lower field. The composition is dense and vigorously engraved, consistent with the artistic conventions of South Italian mints of the late fourth to early third century BC. |
