| Obverse description | Head of a youthful female deity, most likely Hera, facing right, rendered in fine archaic-influenced style with elaborately striated hair swept back and secured with a wreath or taenia. The facial features are delicately modelled with a smooth cheek, almond-shaped eye, and slightly parted lips. The hair falls in carefully incised parallel locks behind the ear, characteristic of the Euboian artistic tradition of the early third century BC. The flan is slightly irregular and the relief is well-centred. |

| Reverse description | An eagle standing left with wings spread, rendered in high relief against a plain field, displaying the characteristic spread-winged type associated with Chalkidian coinage. The bird is depicted with boldly incised feathers on the wings and a powerful hooked beak turned slightly downward. To the right of the eagle, a small bunch of grapes is visible, an emblematic symbol of Euboia and its prosperous agricultural region. The composition is framed by the irregular flan typical of hammered silver coinage of this period. |
