| Obverse description | Youthful male head in right profile, identified as a local hero or deity, rendered in fine high-relief style characteristic of late Classical Greek coinage. The hair is elaborately coiffed with wavy locks swept back from the forehead and gathered at the nape, with a small pendant earring visible at the ear. The facial features display a refined, idealized quality with a straight nose and softly parted lips. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Eagle displayed in left profile, shown flying or swooping with wings partially spread and talons extended, grasping a serpent in its claws — an iconographic type closely associated with Chalkis. The serpent coils beneath the eagle in a dynamic compositional arrangement. A star appears in the lower left field, and a small floral or ivy-leaf symbol is visible to the right. The ethnic inscription XAΛ appears to the right, identifying the issuing city of Chalkis in abbreviated Greek lettering. |
