| Obverse description | The characteristic Boeotian shield rendered in high relief, depicted face-on and filling the field. The shield features the distinctive double-curved cutouts on each side, with a raised oval boss at the centre. The surface displays a fine granular texture with traces of green patination consistent with ancient bronze coinage of the region. |

| Reverse description | Plain field bearing the abbreviation ΟΡΧ in bold, incuse Greek majuscule letters arranged horizontally across the centre, referencing the mint city of Orchomenos. The letter omicron is rendered with a central pellet, and the chi appears in a slightly off-axis position. The field is otherwise uninscribed, with an irregular raised border following the flan edge. |
