| Obverse description | Head of a young female deity, most likely Hera, facing right, depicted with flowing hair elaborately arranged in waves and drawn back, with a thick rolled lock above the forehead. The portrait is rendered in fine high relief characteristic of late Classical Euboian coinage, with naturalistic facial features including a well-defined eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | Eagle with head turned to face right, depicted in right profile with wings spread and partially folded, rendered in bold relief. The eagle grasps a serpent in its beak, the snake coiling prominently around the bird's neck and body — a hallmark type of Chalkidian coinage. To the right of the eagle stands a lyre, the civic emblem of Chalkis, and below it the ethnic abbreviation ΑΝ in the field. The composition is well-centered on the flan with strong artistic detail in the feathering. |
