| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a crested Attic helmet with cheek guards; the hair falls in locks beneath the helmet, and the goddess's facial features are rendered in a bold, archaic-influenced style characteristic of Thessalian bronze coinage of the early fourth century BC. The flan is irregular and the relief is strong, with the helmet crest projecting prominently within the field. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing vigorously to the right, depicted in a lively, naturalistic style with the foreleg raised and the tail flowing; the musculature of the animal is rendered with confident, energetic strokes typical of Thessalian equestrian coinage. The Greek legend ΦΑΛΑΝΝΑΙΩΝ (of the Phalannaians) arches along the upper border of the flan, identifying the civic issuer. |
