| Obverse description | Bare head of a youthful male figure facing right, rendered in fine Greek style with abundant, tightly curled hair framing the face. The facial features are delicately modeled with a naturalistic profile, displaying a smooth cheek, well-defined nose, and slightly parted lips. The hair is arranged in closely worked spiral curls over the crown and temples, characteristic of Thessalian artistic convention of the mid-4th century BC. The flan edge is irregular, as is typical of hammered coinage of this period, with a dotted border visible along the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | A bridled horse prancing vigorously to the right, rendered with dynamic energy and fine anatomical detail, with forelegs raised and tail arched. The horse is shown in a spirited three-quarter raised stance, conveying motion and power, a characteristic device of Thessalian civic coinage reflecting the region's renowned equestrian culture. In the upper field, the ethnic legend ΦΑΛΑΝ | ΝΑΙΩΝ is divided on either side of the horse, identifying the issuing city of Phalanna. A palm frond or floral symbol appears in the lower left field. The design is set within a linear border on an irregularly shaped hammered flan. |
