| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style with naturalistic detail. The deity is depicted bearded, with carefully articulated wavy hair bound by a laurel wreath, the locks falling loosely at the nape. The strong facial features — prominent brow, aquiline nose, and full beard — convey divine authority characteristic of Thessalian civic coinage of the early fourth century BC. The portrait is set within a plain field against a slightly irregular flan typical of hammered bronze production. |
