| Obverse description | Facing head of the nymph or goddess depicted in three-quarter view, rendered in the characteristic Thessalian style with flowing, wavy hair radiating outward around the face and framing the features symmetrically. The facial modeling displays fine archaic-to-classical transitional artistry, with almond-shaped eyes and well-defined lips. The bust terminates at the neck with schematic drapery indicated at the lower edge of the flan. The legend ΕΥΞ appears in the field, likely denoting a magistrate's abbreviated name. |

| Reverse description | A horse standing or walking to the right, rendered with naturalistic musculature and detail characteristic of Thessalian coinage, which celebrated the region's renowned equestrian tradition. The horse is depicted with a slightly arched neck and raised foreleg, conveying a sense of spirited motion. The ethnic inscription ΑΤΡΑΓΙΩΝ, denoting the citizens of Atrax, is distributed in the field around the horse, partially above and to the right. The ground line below the horse is faintly indicated. The overall composition fills the irregular flan in a bold, confident die-cutting style. |
