Beschrijving voorzijde Fast quadriga driven to left by a bearded charioteer who holds the reins in both hands and the kentron (goad) in his right; the head of the third horse is turned back toward the viewer. Nike flies to right above the scene, extending a wreath to crown the charioteer. The composition conveys vigorous motion characteristic of the finest Syracusan die-engraving of the late fifth century BC. In the exergue, a barley ear is rendered in high relief.

Beschrijving keerzijde Facing left, the head of the nymph Arethusa is depicted in fine classical style, her hair bound with an ampyx and enclosed in a sphendone. She wears a double-spiral earring and a simple necklace adorned with a prominent spherical pendant. Four dolphins surround her: two swimming downward and one upward in the left field, and a fourth swimming downward behind her neck to the right. The ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙ-Ω-Ν is inscribed around the periphery of the design.
