| Obverse description | Boeotian shield depicted in high relief at center, its characteristic concave sides and lateral cutouts rendered with bold, sculptural modeling. The convex boss dominates the field, surrounded by a plain incuse border. The shield's distinctive shape, emblematic of the Boeotian League, is presented in a slightly off-center arrangement typical of hand-struck coinage of the period. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with archaic Greek minting practice. |

| Reverse description | A large Kantharos (two-handled wine vessel) depicted in profile at center, its volute handles rising elegantly above the rim and its foot resting on a raised base line. To the left of the vessel, a bunch of grapes is visible in the lower field. The magistrate's name is inscribed in two parts flanking the lower portion of the kantharos, reading TI to the left and MI to the right in archaic Greek letters. The composition is set within a shallow incuse square with slightly curved sides, characteristic of Boeotian stater reverses of this era. |
