| Obverse description | Laureate and diademed head of Hera facing right, her hair bound in a stephane richly ornamented with palmettes and secured at the nape; she wears a pendant earring and a multistrand pearl necklace, with her hair falling in loose tresses down the back of her neck. The portraiture is rendered in the refined Classical style characteristic of Argive coinage of the mid-fourth century BC, with careful attention to facial modeling and jewelry detail. |

| Reverse description | Two large dolphins swimming in a circular arrangement to the left, their elongated bodies framing the central device and their tails meeting at the lower field. At the centre stands a tripod-lebes with a cauldron resting on a columnar support with splayed legs, rendered in fine relief. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙΩΝ is distributed around the periphery of the field in archaic Greek characters, with a small floral motif visible in the lower field beneath the tripod. |
