| Obverse description | Facing bearded male head, rendered in the archaic-to-classical transitional style characteristic of Thessalian coinage. The visage is depicted full-face with pronounced facial features, including a broad nose, wide-set eyes, and a thick beard rendered with fine striations. The hair is shown in loose, wavy locks framing the face on either side. The overall style reflects the bold die-cutting tradition of northern Greek mints of the early fourth century BC. |
