| Obverse description | Laureate male head facing left, rendered in archaic Sicilian style with finely detailed wreath of laurel encircling the hair. The facial features are naturalistically modeled with a smooth cheek and well-defined jaw. The neck is bare, and the overall style reflects the local Punic-Sicilian artistic tradition of the late 4th century BC. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a horse prancing to the right, with flowing mane rendered in incised parallel lines and musculature summarily indicated. Beneath the horse, a dolphin is depicted, a characteristic device of Sicilian coinage referencing the island's maritime identity. The design is set within a plain, irregularly shaped flan with no surrounding legend or exergual inscription. |
