| Obverse description | Draped female head facing right, hair bound in a sakkos; a single pendant earring and beaded necklace adorn the figure. The portrait is rendered in the plain, archaic-transitional style characteristic of Thessalian bronze coinage of the fourth century BC. The field is plain with no legend. |

| Reverse description | A bull advancing to the right, modelled in sturdy relief with head slightly lowered and tail raised, conveying movement and vitality. The ethnic inscription ΒΟΙΩΝΙ TIKΗΣ is disposed in the upper field above the animal's back. The type reflects the pastoral character and cattle-raising traditions of the Thessalian community of Boione. The style is consistent with provincial Thessalian bronze issues of the fourth century BC. |
