| Obverse description | Bare head of Athena facing right, wearing a plain crested Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, the cheek-guards flanking the face. The facial features are rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial style typical of Lucanian bronze coinage, with a pronounced nose and defined chin. No legend or border is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | A Dioskouros striding vigorously to the left, depicted nude and advancing, holding a palm branch in one hand. The ethnic abbreviation ΚΑΙ, rendered in Greek characters, appears to the left of the figure, along with a thunderbolt symbol as a secondary control mark. The composition reflects the Hellenistic artistic conventions prevalent in the coinage of Lucanian communities. |
