| Obverse description | The obverse presents the hero Thessalos, depicted nude and in vigorous motion, wrestling or subduing a bull. The figure is shown grasping the bull's horn with both hands, leaning forward with athletic dynamism characteristic of Thessalian coinage of the early classical period. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with the field otherwise unadorned. The rendering reflects the bold, energetic style associated with the mint of Trikka, celebrated in antiquity for its accomplished die-cutters. |
