Reverse description An eagle, wings spread and raised, depicted in left-facing profile and shown in the act of seizing a writhing serpent with its talons and beak, the snake coiling dramatically around the bird's body. The composition is dynamic and naturalistic, a hallmark of Euboian civic coinage. A thyrsus or similar symbol appears in the lower right field. The ethnic initial alpha (Α) is inscribed in the field, serving as an abbreviated reference to the city of Chalkis.
