| Obverse description | Facing Boeotian shield rendered in high relief, its characteristic curved cutouts at left and right clearly delineated, set within a plain circular border. The shield's convex boss dominates the field, with the lateral notches framing the design symmetrically. The surface is plain and unlettered, the bold geometric form serving as the primary emblem of the Boeotian League. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed two-handled amphora depicted in relief at center, with elegant double volute handles rising above a ribbed neck and a pronounced foot below; the vessel occupies the full height of the incuse concave circular field. The magistrate's name is divided across the field in two parts, with the letters ΓΕ to the left and ΡΓ to the right of the amphora. The deeply concave incuse circle frames the entire composition, characteristic of Theban federal coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |
