Obverse description Jugate busts of a youthful male figure and a horse facing right, both rendered in high relief within a circular border. The male head, possibly representing a local hero or deity, is depicted with flowing hair and naturalistic facial features characteristic of early fourth-century Thessalian coinage. The horse's head emerges prominently alongside the human bust, referencing the celebrated equestrian culture of Krannon and the broader Thessalian region. The composition fills the flan, with the subjects arranged in close proximity and the surfaces exhibiting a bold, archaic sculptural quality.
