| Obverse description | Helmeted horseman advancing to the right, clad in chlamys and short military tunic, depicted in the act of striking downward at a fallen or crouching enemy who raises his shield in defense. The composition conveys vigorous martial action characteristic of Thessalian coinage of the period. A border of dots frames the design within the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | Standing warrior in short military tunic, striding to the left with head turned back over his right shoulder in a rearward glance. He is equipped with a sword suspended from a baldric across his chest, carries a spear in his right hand leveled forward, and bears a round shield in his left hand. The figure is rendered in the energetic, martial style typical of Thessalian civic bronzes of the fourth century BC. An inscription in Greek letters identifies the issuing community. |
