| Obverse description | Facing bull's head rendered in high relief, turned slightly to right, with prominent horns curving upward and finely detailed musculature. The head is depicted frontally with naturalistic modelling of the facial features, characteristic of Thessalian archaic coinage. The design is enclosed within a beaded border occupying most of the coin's flan. |

| Reverse description | Ram standing to left in profile within a shallow incuse square, rendered with careful attention to the animal's woolly fleece and sturdy legs. The Greek ethnic inscription ΦΑΡΚΑ is distributed around the figure in the field, identifying the issuing city of Pharkadon. The composition is typical of Thessalian civic coinage of the late fifth century BC, with the animal depicted in a naturalistic walking stance. |
