| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with a prominent crest and cheek guards, the hair flowing in loose locks beneath the helmet onto the neck. The portrait is boldly modeled in high relief, with carefully articulated facial features including a straight nose and well-defined eye. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | A large archaic Greek letter Eta (Η) occupying the central field, rendered with distinctive curved or bowed outer strokes flanking a straight crossbar, serving as the civic monogram or initial of Heraia. The letter is boldly incuse in style, deeply struck and centrally placed within the flan. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned, with no additional inscription or decorative element. |
