| Obverse description | Laureate head of Poseidon facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with deeply carved, flowing curls and a full beard; the laurel wreath is boldly modeled with clearly articulated leaves. The portrait displays strong, idealized masculine features characteristic of late Boeotian League coinage. The field is plain, and the coin is bordered by a neat row of beads. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, stands facing with head turned to the left; she extends her right hand holding a wreath and grasps a trident in her left hand, the latter attribute linking the reverse iconography to the obverse deity Poseidon. A monogram appears in the inner left field. The ethnic legend ΒΟΙΩΤΩN is placed in the field, identifying the issuing Boeotian League. |
