| Beschrijving voorzijde | Prancing horse to the right, depicted in a vigorous and naturalistic style characteristic of Thracian coinage of the period. The horse is shown rearing with forelegs raised, its mane rendered in careful detail with incised lines. A small eagle stands in the upper right field, facing left with wings folded. Below the horse, a diminutive male figure — likely a groom or stable hand — is shown kneeling or crouching, adding narrative depth to the composition. The entire design is set within a broad, unbordered field on the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maroneia's coinage in this period funded the city's considerable wine trade — the region's vintages were famous enough in antiquity that Odysseus's wine in the Odyssey is sometimes identified as Maroneian. The city struck heavily through the fourth century to facilitate commerce with Thrace and the wider Aegean, and magistrate-signed issues like this one, bearing the name Hegesagoreos, reflect the Greek practice of civic accountability through personal endorsement of the coinage.
The McClean collection, assembled by Frank McClean and bequeathed to the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1904, remains one of the principal reference corpora for northern Aegean Greek issues.
