| Obverse description | Bearded head of Herakles facing right, wearing the lion-skin headdress, rendered in a bold Italianate style with coarse, expressive features. The lion's mane is clearly delineated over the hero's brow and falls along the neck. Three pellets, serving as the mark of value for the quadrans, are placed in the left field behind the head. The coin is framed by a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Two Heraklean clubs displayed vertically or diagonally in the field, serving as the principal type and emblematic of the colony's Italic-Greek heritage. Three pellets denoting the quadrans value are arranged in the field alongside a secondary control symbol, which varies by issue and may take the form of a star, dolphin, Nike, bull, wreath, carnyx, crescent, lyre, tripod, fly, shell, or crayfish. The Latin legend VALENTIA appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Vibo Valentia. A beaded border surrounds the design. |
