| Obverse description | Head of the nymph Terina facing right, her hair elaborately styled in wavy locks bound with a diadem or fillet, rendered in fine archaic-classical style. The effigy displays delicate facial features characteristic of the Magna Graecia engravers' art of the late fifth century BC. The ethnic legend TEPINAION appears in Greek characters in the field to the left of the portrait, with an additional control mark Φ. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hand-struck coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, seated three-quarters facing to the left upon a low square throne or stool, her wings partially spread behind her. She extends her right hand forward, apparently holding a small bird or ball above her outstretched palm, while her left hand rests in her lap. Her drapery falls in fine pleated folds over her seated form. The ethnic legend TEPINAION is inscribed in Greek characters in the left field, with the control mark Φ. The composition is elegantly balanced and exemplifies the high artistic standard of Terina's coinage. |
