| Obverse description | Facing Boiotian shield depicted in high relief, centrally positioned within the coin field. The shield's characteristic cutouts are rendered on either side, displaying the distinctive incurved form associated with Boiotian coinage. The design fills the flan with bold, confident die-work typical of early fourth-century Boiotian civic issues. |

| Reverse description | Draped head of Hera facing right, wearing a stephanos adorned with decorative elements atop her hair. The goddess's facial features are rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style, with detailed coiffure visible beneath the stephanos. The portrait is set within a plain field on an irregular flan, consistent with the small module hammered coinage of Plataiai during the period of its re-foundation. |
