| Obverse description | Facing Boeotian shield rendered in high relief, its characteristic cutout notches visible on either side of the upper arc. The convex boss of the shield dominates the field, with the incurved sides and double-curved apertures of the shield rendered with bold plasticity typical of Theban coinage of this period. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Amphora at center within a shallow concave incuse circle, above which a kerykeion (herald's staff) is depicted to the left. The magistrate's name is inscribed across the field in two parts flanking the central device. The composition is enclosed within a concave circular border, a hallmark of Boeotian federal silver coinage of the early fourth century BC. |
