| Obverse description | Boeotian shield rendered in high relief, with characteristic convex central boss and two lateral cutouts visible at the sides, all set within a plain border. The shield is depicted face-on, dominating the flan, with the incurved edges and handle-bar cutouts faithfully reproduced in the distinctive Boiotian oval form. The surface of the shield exhibits a smooth, domed center contrasting with the recessed border area. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. The die work is typical of the early fourth century BC Theban mint tradition. |

| Reverse description | Within a concave incuse circle, an amphora stands in the lower field with a downward-pointing club positioned to the upper right. The magistrate's name is divided across the field in two parts. The composition is characteristic of Theban federal coinage of the early fourth century BC, with the amphora and club serving as civic and Heraklean symbols respectively. The incuse concave square forms the principal border framing all design elements. |
