| Obverse description | Facing left, the wreathed head of Persephone in high relief, her hair elaborately dressed and adorned with a floral crown, surrounded by three dolphins arranged in the field — stylized as comma-like strokes — a characteristic iconographic convention of Syracusan coinage referentinh the city's maritime identity. |

| Reverse description | A quadriga advancing in full gallop toward the right, driven by a charioteer who holds the reins in one hand and extends a kentron (goad) toward the horizon; the composition conveys vigorous movement and is rendered in the celebrated Syracusan artistic tradition associated with die engravers of the late fifth century BC. |
