| Obverse description | High-relief depiction of the tyrannicides Harmodius and Aristogeiton shown as nude heroic figures in dynamic poses, raising their weapons to strike. The composition evokes the famous ancient sculptural group, set against a textured field with architectural and decorative elements. A small inscription appears in the upper right field. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a rising sun in relief set within a semicircular arch, symbolising the restoration of democracy. Concentric arched inscriptions in archaic-style Greek lettering fill the upper portion, with additional multi-line inscription in the lower field recording the names of Harmodius and Aristogeiton and the date 514 BC. |
