| Obverse description | Facing left, the draped bust of the nymph Chalkis, rendered in fine Classical style with flowing curly hair swept back from the face. The effigy displays delicate facial features characteristic of late 4th-century BC Euboian coinage, with a graceful neck and naturalistic modeling of the hair. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | An eagle depicted in dynamic profile, grasping a writhing serpent firmly in both its talons and beak, rendered with boldly engraved wing and feather detail. The composition conveys the predatory energy characteristic of Chalkidian civic coinage of this period. A rose appears in the field, serving as a secondary civic symbol. The ethnic inscription XAΛ (abbreviation for Chalkis) is placed within the field, identifying the issuing city. |
