| Obverse description | Diademed head of Zeus facing left, rendered in the Hellenistic style with flowing hair and a broad diadem across the brow. The portrait is bold and deeply struck, with pronounced facial features characteristic of Thessalian bronze coinage. The field is plain and unlettered, the portrait occupying most of the flan. |
