| Obverse description | Facing head of a female deity, likely a nymph or goddess associated with the city, rendered in archaic-to-classical transitional style. The visage is presented frontally, framed by loose, flowing hair falling to either side of the face. The modeling is bold and stylized, with simplified facial features characteristic of small bronze coinage from Thessalian mints of the fourth century BC. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | Head of a youthful male figure, likely Apollo or a local hero, depicted in right-facing profile. The hair is bound with a wreath or taenia, with locks rendered in fine parallel striations typical of late classical Thessalian bronze coinage. The bust is bare, and the portraiture displays competent die-cutting characteristic of regional mint production. The field is plain with no visible legend or exergual inscription. |
