| Obverse description | Laureate and ivy-wreathed head of Dionysos facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with full facial features and flowing hair bound with a wreath of grape leaves and ivy. The deity's visage displays characteristic Dionysiac iconography consistent with 4th century BC Boiotian bronze coinage. The portrait occupies the central field, with traces of a partial Greek legend visible around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A single pendant bunch of grapes rendered in high relief, depicted with individual spherical berries arranged in a compact, naturalistic cluster tapering toward the base. The bunch is centrally placed within the field with no border or inscription, the plain flan surrounding the motif consistent with civic bronze issues of the 4th century BC. The type directly references the Dionysiac iconography of the obverse and alludes to the agricultural identity of the issuing community. |
