On the side of the coin on the left is a man standing, seen from the back in three quarters view facing left, nude except for a lion skin draped over left arm, his left hand extended and holding one head of a multi headed serpent, which he strikes at with club held above in his right hand; below, a crab between his legs. The other side of the coin depicts a bull walking to the left with head turned slightly to the right.
