Beschrijving voorzijde A biga drawn by two mules advancing to the left, driven by the Nymph Messana depicted standing, her figure turned to the left, holding a goad in her right hand and the reins in both hands. The composition is rendered in fine archaic-transitional style with careful attention to the musculature of the animals. In the exergue, two confronted dolphins are depicted facing one another. The ethnic legend ΜΕΣΣΑΝΑ appears in the field.

Beschrijving keerzijde A hare springing vigorously to the right, rendered with naturalistic energy, its body fully extended in mid-leap. Beneath the hare, a fly is depicted in aerial view, shown from above with spread wings, a distinctive and unusual device associated with the coinage of Messana. The reverse legend ΜΕΣΣΑΝΙΟΝ is distributed around the field in segments flanking the central devices, enclosed within a beaded border.
