Beschrijving voorzijde Facing right, the youthful head of Herakles is rendered in fine Hellenistic style, enveloped by the scalp of the Nemean lion, whose gaping jaws form a helmet-like headdress above the hero's curling locks. The modelling of the facial features — strong brow, slightly parted lips, and softly defined cheek — reflects the influence of the Alexandrine coinage tradition. The lion's mane falls naturally around the neck, with individual locks carefully articulated by the engraver. No legend appears in the field, consistent with the anepigraphic obverse convention of this Siculo-Punic series. A beaded border frames the entire composition.

Beschrijving keerzijde The forepart of a horse's head and neck is depicted facing left in high relief, with carefully rendered musculature and a flowing mane. Behind the horse, a tall palm tree with characteristically feathered fronds rises prominently in the right field — a quintessential symbol of Punic coinage. In the left field, before the horse's chest, a Herculean club is depicted vertically. A Punic inscription appears in the lower exergual area. The design is contained within a dotted border, and the overall composition reflects the hybrid Greco-Punic artistic tradition of late 4th- to early 3rd-century BC Sicily.
