| Obverse description | Bare head of a youthful male, likely a local hero or deity, facing right, rendered in fine high relief with abundant, tightly curled hair swept back from the brow and framing the face naturalistically. The facial features are finely modeled in the late Classical Greek style, exhibiting a strong profile with a well-defined jawline and idealized proportions. The field is plain, and the coin is bordered by a beaded (dotted) circle near the rim. |

| Reverse description | A bridled horse with a characteristically curled tail prancing to right, rendered in a lively, energetic style typical of Thessalian coinage. Below the horse, a bunch of grapes lying on its side serves as a secondary device, referencing the agricultural identity of the region. A monogram of ΑΝ appears in the field alongside the ethnic legend of the Phalannaioi. The design is enclosed within a plain border. |
