| Obverse description | Laureate head of the nymph Larissa facing left, rendered in archaic Thessalian style, with a necklace and earring visible at the neck. The hair is bound beneath the laurel wreath, and the portrait exhibits the characteristic broad facial features of the regional die-cutting tradition. Small letters Ι and Π appear flanking the neck on left and right respectively, likely representing a magistrate's monogram or mint control marks. The portrait is set within a plain circular field with no additional border decoration. |

| Reverse description | A harpa (sickle-shaped sword) depicted facing right, set centrally within a circular olive wreath tied with a bow at the lower left. The wreath is rendered with carefully articulated leaves and berries, enclosing the entire central design. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΛΑΡΙ appears below the harpa within the wreath, identifying the issuing community of Larissa Kremaste. The overall composition is compact and well-centered, consistent with Thessalian bronze coinage of the early Hellenistic period. |
