| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity facing left, rendered in archaic Greek style with flowing hair drawn back and secured, the facial features modeled in low relief. The head is set within a plain incuse circular field typical of small Thessalian bronze coinage. The portrait is consistent with a representation of Demeter or a local nymph, a common obverse type for Theban civic bronzes of the early Hellenistic period. |

| Reverse description | The civic abbreviation ΘΗ (for Thebai) inscribed in bold Greek letters at center, the theta rendered with a central horizontal bar, enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base. The wreath frames the legend symmetrically, filling the flan in a manner characteristic of Thessalian municipal bronze coinage of the late fourth and early third centuries BC. The field is otherwise plain. |
