| Obverse description | Facing right, the draped bust of a local nymph rendered in archaic Sicilian style, her hair bound with a fillet and adorned with a single-pendant earring and beaded necklace. The portraiture is characteristic of late fifth-century BC Sicilian coinage, with fine engraving of facial features and hair locks falling along the neck. |

| Reverse description | The youthful god Dionysos depicted sidesaddle atop a walking ass moving to left, holding a kantharos in his raised right hand and a thyrsos in his left. Three pellets are distributed in the field, denoting the coin's denomination of three onkiai. The reverse legend ΝΑΚΟΝΑΙΟΝ appears around the central device, identifying the issuing civic authority of Nakone. |
