| Obverse description | Horse prancing to right within a beaded border, depicted in high relief with naturalistic rendering characteristic of Thessalian coinage. The animal is shown in a lively, animated stance with the forelegs raised, the tail flowing, and the head turned slightly upward. The type is consistent with the equestrian imagery prevalent among the city-states of Thessaly during the Classical period. |

| Reverse description | Athena standing to right, clad in helmet and drapery, holding a spear in her extended right hand and a shield at her left side, the figure rendered in a stiff, archaic-influenced style. The entire design is set within a shallow incuse square, a technique typical of early Thessalian silver coinage. The ethnic inscription ΦΑΡ ΚΑΔO appears in the field, identifying the issuing polis of Pharkadon. |
