| Obverse description | Free-standing horse to right, depicted in profile with raised foreleg in a prancing pose, rendered in archaic relief typical of Thessalian coinage. The figure is contained within a beaded border encircling the field. The horse's musculature and mane are summarily but expressively articulated, consistent with the artistic conventions of early fourth-century BC Thessaly. |

| Reverse description | Figure of Apollo, laureate and clad in a long chiton, striding to the left while playing a kithara (lyre) held before him. The scene is set within a shallow incuse square, characteristic of early Greek hammered coinage. The ethnic inscription of Trikka appears in the left field, reading downward in retrograde Greek letters. The stylized rendering of the deity reflects the archaic tradition still prevalent in Thessalian civic coinage of the early fourth century BC. |
