| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Ares facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with a prominent crest and cheekpiece rendered in bold relief. The facial features are depicted in a vigorous Sicilian style, with a pronounced brow, aquiline nose, and strong chin. Curling locks of hair emerge beneath the helmet and fall along the neck. A dotted border runs along the inner rim of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing vigorously to the right in lively, naturalistic style, with raised forelegs and flowing tail, rendered with characteristic Sicilian artistic energy. Above the horse's back, a large Greek letter M (mark of value denoting three onkiai) is prominently placed in the upper left field. The exergue is unadorned, and the flan retains its irregular hammered form typical of Sicilian bronze coinage of this period. |
