| Obverse description | Facing left, the laureate and horned head of a river-god rendered in archaic Sicilian style, with curling hair framing the face. The horns, a traditional divine attribute of river deities, emerge from the forehead. The portrait is rendered in low relief typical of small Siculo-Punic bronze coinage of the late fifth century BC. |

| Reverse description | A dog lunging to the right, seizing a kneeling fawn by the throat in a dynamic predator-prey composition characteristic of Sicilian numismatic iconography. A single grain kernel appears in the left field, serving as a mint or value indicator. The scene is rendered in compact, vigorous style within the small flan. |
