| Obverse description | Bare head of a youthful male, likely the hero Asklepios, facing right in profile, rendered in an archaic to early classical style. The hair is depicted in short, closely cropped locks. The portrait is contained within a beaded border that frames the entire field. The facial features are finely engraved for the coin's diminutive size, exhibiting the characteristic stylistic conventions of Thessalian civic coinage of the late fifth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a horse prancing right, with head lowered and forelegs raised, rendered within a shallow incuse square. The horse's mane and musculature are rendered with notable detail given the coin's small module. The Greek letters TPI — an abbreviation of the city ethnic TRIKKA — are distributed across the field, with T to the upper left and PI to the upper right of the horse's forepart. The incuse technique is characteristic of early Thessalian silver coinage. |
