Obverse description	Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in fine archaic-Hellenistic style with a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a cheek guard. The hair falls in soft waves beneath the helmet rim, and the facial features are rendered with notable detail. Five pellets appear in the field, denoting the quincunx denomination. The flan displays the characteristic irregular fabric typical of South Italian bronze coinage of this period.

Reverse description	Warrior on horseback galloping right at full stride, the rider brandishing a weapon overhead in dynamic fashion. Below the horse, the inscription LADINOD (the Oscan rendering of Larinum) appears in the exergual area, accompanied by five pellets arranged in a row beneath, reaffirming the quincunx denomination. The composition reflects strong Italic artistic influence blended with Hellenistic equestrian iconography common to coinage of the Frentani region.
