| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in the archaic to early classical style characteristic of Thessalian coinage. The goddess wears a crested Attic helmet with a raised cheekpiece, beneath which curling locks of hair escape at the temple and nape. The facial features are rendered with almond-shaped eyes, a finely modelled nose, and slightly parted lips, exhibiting the transitional style between archaic rigidity and early classical naturalism. The neck is visible below the helmet, with the cheekpiece framing the profile. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered issues of this period. |
