| Obverse description | Prancing horse advancing to left, depicted in high relief with naturalistic musculature; the animal's forelegs are raised in a spirited gait. An astragalos (knucklebone) appears in the upper field to the right of the horse. The design is set within a circular incuse field, characteristic of early Thracian coinage, with a plain exergual line beneath the horse. |

| Reverse description | A stylized grapevine with multiple clusters of hanging grapes occupies the central field, reflecting Maroneia's renowned wine production. The magistrate's name ΗΒΗΣΑΣ (Hebesas) is inscribed in Greek characters around the vine design within a linear square border. The entire composition is set within a deeply recessed incuse square, a hallmark of early Thracian silver coinage, with the vine rendered in low relief against the flat incuse surface. |
