| Obverse description | Facing left, the draped head of the nymph Terina rendered in fine classical style, her hair enclosed within a sakkos; she wears a pearl necklace and a pearl earring. The letter Π appears in the lower field beneath her chin, serving as a control mark. The portraiture reflects the high artistic quality associated with the coinages of Magna Graecia during the late fifth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, is depicted seated to the right upon a low altar or base, rendered in the elegant style characteristic of late fifth-century BC South Italian coinage. She holds a kerykeion (herald's staff) in her left hand and rests her right hand upon the altar's surface. The ethnic legend ΤΕΡΙΝΑΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. A small control mark Π is placed in the lower left field adjacent to the base of the altar. |
