| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female divinity, identified as the nymph Hera or Artemis, facing right, with elaborately dressed hair bound in a krobylos secured by a wreath or diadem, loose curling locks falling behind the ear. The portrait is rendered in the refined Late Classical style, with soft facial modelling, a delicate profile, and almond-shaped eye. The field is plain, with no inscription. |

| Reverse description | Frontal bucranium (ox head facing) rendered in high relief, the horns curving upward to either side, flanked on the left by a thyrsus or grape cluster on a vine tendril and on the right by a grain ear, symbols evoking agricultural abundance and Dionysiac cult. The League abbreviation ΕΥ appears in the upper field between the horns, serving as the ethnic of the Euboian League. The composition is boldly conceived in the Hellenistic tradition. |
