| Obverse description | Laureate head of Poseidon or Zeus facing right, rendered in the prevailing Thessalian style of the late Classical period. The deity is depicted with flowing hair bound by a laurel wreath, with strong, idealized facial features characteristic of fourth-century Greek bronze coinage. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, set against a plain field with no surrounding legend. |

| Reverse description | A rider dressed in chlamys and petasos mounted on a rearing horse facing right, a composition emblematic of the equestrian culture of Thessaly. The figure is depicted in vigorous motion, with the horse's forelegs raised. The ethnic inscription ΚΡΑ-Ν, identifying the issuing city of Krannon, is arranged clockwise around the design, serving as the sole legend on the reverse field. |
