| Obverse description | Prancing horse advancing left in high relief, rendered in an archaic Greek style with finely articulated musculature; the animal is depicted with forelegs raised and hindquarters lowered in a rearing pose. The horse occupies the majority of the flan, with a dotted border encircling the design. The style is characteristic of northern Aegean coinage of the mid-fifth century BC, with bold modeling and a sense of vigorous movement. |

| Reverse description | Vine arbor with grape clusters centrally displayed within a linear square border, with the magistrate's name ΠΟΣΕΙΔΙΠΠΟΣ distributed in Greek letters around the vine motif. The entire design is set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Thracian civic coinage. The inscription is arranged in segments along the sides of the linear frame, identifying the issuing magistrate responsible for the coin's production. |
