| Obverse description | Three-quarter facing head of the nymph Larissa, turned slightly to right, wearing an ampyx (metal headband) across her brow, rendered in the soft, naturalistic style characteristic of early fourth-century Thessalian coinage. A dolphin swims downward to the left of her head, and a second dolphin swims downward to the right, framing the central effigy symmetrically within the broadly circular flan. |

| Reverse description | A horse standing in profile to right with all four legs depicted straight and at rest, shown in the act of grazing with its head lowered toward the ground line, which is indicated by a dotted exergual border. The animal is rendered with careful attention to musculature and proportion, consistent with the high-quality die engraving associated with Larissaean coinage of this period. The ethnic inscription ΛΑΡΙ appears in the upper field above the horse's back. |
