Obverse description Beotian shield depicted facing, rendered in shallow relief within a slightly concave field, with the characteristic lateral cutouts visible on either side of the central boss. The shield boss is prominent at center, and the overall design fills the flan in a style typical of small Boiotian federal and civic silver coinage of the early fourth century BC.

Reverse description Trident displayed upright at center, with three tines pointing upward and a crossbar element visible on the shaft, rendered in crisp incuse style characteristic of early Classical Greek hammered coinage. The ethnic inscription A-R flanks the trident, with A to the left and R (Ρ) to the right, identifying the issuing city of Haliartos. The design is contained within a square incuse punch, a common reverse treatment for small silver denominations of this period.
