| Obverse description | Draped bust of Achilles facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Hadrianic-era Thessalian coinage. The legend ΑΧΙΛΛΕΟΥC curves around the periphery of the flan, identifying the heroic figure. The overall design reflects the Thessalian Koinon's pride in its mythological association with the hero Achilles. |
