| Obverse description | Facing right, the veiled and diademed head of Hera rendered in fine archaic-transitional style, wearing a narrow stephane decorated with a palmette motif and a lily. The goddess's features are rendered with characteristic idealized severity, the veil falling behind the neck. The obverse field bears the partial ethnic inscription in archaic Greek characters. |

The bird stands with talons firmly planted, conveying strength and divine authority. The entire type is enclosed within a circular olive wreath, referencing the sacred olive crown awarded to victors at the Olympic Games, framing the composition against an unadorned field. |
