| Obverse description | Draped bust of Hera facing right, her hair elaborately arranged and bound beneath a decorative stephane. The portrait is rendered in the classical Peloponnesian style characteristic of the Elean mint, with refined facial features and delicate relief typical of mid-fourth century BC Greek coinage. |
