| Obverse description | A nude male figure, identified as a Thessalian horseman or hero, strides to the right while holding the reins of a horse walking alongside him. The figure is rendered in archaic style with careful attention to musculature, his body shown in three-quarter view. A dotted border runs along the lower edge of the field. The scene is characteristic of the Perrhaibian coinage tradition celebrating the equestrian culture of Thessaly. |
