| Obverse description | Boeotian shield depicted in high relief, centrally positioned and occupying nearly the entire flan. The shield's characteristic cutouts appear at left and right, rendered with crisp, deeply incused detail typical of archaic Boeotian coinage. The convex boss of the shield dominates the center, surrounded by a raised circular border. The hammered fabric produces a slightly irregular, plano-convex flan characteristic of early Greek silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Kantharos (wine vessel) depicted facing, with two volute handles flanking the body, rendered in fine detail with a stepped foot and a beaded or serrated rim at the top. The inscription T-I appears divided to the left and right of the upper portion of the kantharos, with A-N similarly divided below, reading as the magistrate's name TIAN in four letters arranged around the vessel. The field is flat and unadorned, with a shallow incuse square providing the strike area. The style is consistent with Theban civic coinage of the early fourth century BC. |
