| Obverse description | Forepart of a horse prancing to the right, rendered in archaic Greek style with a boldly striated mane, the muscular neck and raised forelegs depicted in profile. The figure occupies the full field of the flan, with no border or legend present. The relief is crisp and deeply struck, characteristic of fifth-century Thracian coinage. |
