| Obverse description | Boeotian shield depicted in high relief at centre, its characteristic concave sides and lateral cutouts rendered with bold plasticity. The shield is surrounded by a double-line circular border, the whole composition occupying the full flan. The design is a hallmark of Boeotian federal coinage, immediately identifying the issuing authority. |

| Reverse description | Aryballos-shaped kantharos (wine vessel) depicted in high relief at centre, with two volute handles rising above the rim and a short foot below. The vessel is rendered with fine detail, its body occupying the majority of the field. To the left and right of the kantharos, the magistrate's name is inscribed in two parts, reading ΔΙ to the left and ΟΚ to the right, identifying the issuing magistrate Diokles or a similarly abbreviated official. The composition is framed by the irregular edge of the hand-struck flan. |
