| Obverse description | Bare head of the nymph Chalkis in right profile, her hair rendered in tight parallel waves and drawn back, consistent with the archaic-influenced style of late Classical Euboian coinage. The facial features are finely modeled within the small flan, displaying a well-defined eye, prominent nose, and slightly parted lips. The portrait fills the obverse field without a surrounding legend. |
