| Obverse description | A Thessalos, depicted as a heroic nude youth, wrestling a bull to the ground; the figure lunges to the right, grasping a band secured around the bull's head as the animal is forced nearly prostrate. The scene is rendered with vigorous naturalism characteristic of early Thessalian coinage, with both figures occupying the full coin field in dynamic composition. |
