| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded head of Zeus facing right, rendered in a robust, naturalistic style characteristic of Thessalian bronze coinage. The deity's flowing hair and full beard are rendered with fine detail, the diadem visible across the brow. The portrait fills the flan with strong relief, with the neck truncation visible at the lower right field. |

| Reverse description | Phrixos, nude save for a billowing chlamys spread behind him in the manner of wings, rides a ram leaping to the right while grasping the animal's head with both hands. Below the ram, four wavy lines represent the sea. The ethnic inscription ΑΛΕΩΝ is distributed across the field: ΑΛΕ appears in the lower field below the ram, Ω to the right, and Ν above left, forming the civic legend of Halos in Thessaly. |
