| Obverse description | Laureate head of Poseidon facing right, rendered in the robust Hellenistic style with a full, curling beard and thick wavy hair bound by a laurel wreath. The deity's strong facial features — prominent brow, deep-set eye, and aquiline nose — are characteristic of late federal Boeotian coinage. The portrait occupies the full field with no legend, the flan edges showing the typical irregular outline of a hand-struck flan. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, standing left in flowing drapery, resting upon a trident with her right hand and extending a wreath forward in her left. The ethnic legend ΒΟΙΩΤΩΝ descends along the left field. To the inner left, a bunch of grapes appears above a control monogram, both serving as mint or magistrate identifiers. The composition reflects the standard reverse type of the Boeotian League federal silver coinage of the late third to early second century BC. |
