| Obverse description | Bearded head of Dionysos facing right in three-quarter view, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style. The deity is crowned with a wreath of ivy leaves and berries positioned prominently at his forehead, a characteristic Dionysiac attribute. The hair falls in loose locks around the face and neck, conveying a sense of divine vitality. The modeling of the facial features is bold and assured, typical of Thasian gold coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Herakles, clad in his characteristic lion-skin headdress and a short hunting chiton, depicted kneeling to right in the act of drawing his bow. The heroic figure is rendered with dynamic energy, the musculature suggested within the constraints of the hammered technique. The composition is enclosed within a linear border set inside an incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek coin production. The ethnic legend ΘΑΣΙΟΝ appears within the field alongside the letter Κ to the right of the figure. |
