| Obverse description | Draped bust of Hera facing right, her hair elaborately arranged beneath a richly ornamented stephane; the facial features rendered in the classical Hellenistic style with soft modelling of the cheek and chin. The goddess is depicted with characteristic calm divinity, her headdress serving as an attribute of her queenly status. The field is plain, with no visible legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | An eagle standing right with wings closed, perched upon a thunderbolt depicted diagonally across the field, a symbol of Zeus closely associated with the sanctuary at Olympia. A monogram appears to the right of the eagle in the field. The design is rendered in a bold, slightly crude Hellenistic provincial style, with the eagle's plumage suggested by incised feather lines. No encircling legend is present. |
