| Obverse description | Bare head of the nymph Aigiste facing right, her hair elaborately dressed and bound in a sphendone, with a prominent knotted chignon at the nape; a single ivy leaf appears in the lower left field. The portrait is rendered in fine early classical style with carefully incised curling locks framing the face. A beaded border encircles the design. |

| Reverse description | A hound standing to right in a alert pose, with four punched pellets or annulets arranged as marks of value, distributed above and below the animal's body to denote the trias denomination. The reverse field is plain, and the design is characteristic of the Segestian bronze coinage of the late fifth century BC. |
