| Beschrijving voorzijde | Nude, bearded horseman wearing a conical helmet advances to the right on a prancing horse; the rider holds a spear aloft in his right hand while grasping the reins with his left. The composition is rendered in the severe style characteristic of early fifth-century BC Sicilian coinage, with careful attention to the musculature of both horse and rider. The field is plain, and the scene fills the flan with vigorous, dynamic energy. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A man-faced bull, representing the river-god Gelas, is depicted kneeling to the right in three-quarter view, his bearded human head turned frontally. Beneath the bull's body, the ethnic inscription CΕΛΑΣ appears in archaic Greek letters, identifying the issuing city of Gela. The design is executed in the compact, powerful style of the early Classical period, with the bull's musculature rendered with considerable naturalistic detail. The incuse square of earlier coinage has given way to a fully modeled reverse field. |
