| 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. |

| Reverse description | An eagle, the sacred bird of Zeus, depicted standing to right with wings raised in heraldic display, the plumage rendered with careful incised detail. 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. |
