| Obverse description | Youthful bare head of the river-god Aisaros facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with richly detailed wavy hair arranged in layered locks swept back from the forehead and temples. The facial features are finely modelled with a smooth, idealised profile and a subtly open mouth. The field is plain and unscribed, with no legend present on this side. |

| Reverse description | An owl with folded wings stands in left profile upon a barley ear with stalk, rendered with careful attention to feather detail on the body and wings. The bird's head is shown facing forward in the characteristic frontal pose associated with athenaion owl types. The abbreviated ethnic legend KPO (for Kroton) appears in the right field in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city. |
