| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with curling hair and beard falling in detailed waves across the neck. The portrait is bold and high-relief, characteristic of Thessalian League coinage of the second century BC. The facial features are strongly modelled, with a prominent brow and well-defined ear visible in profile. A small eagle perched with spread wings appears above and behind the head, serving as a divine attribute of Zeus. The flat, irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of this period is evident. |
