| Obverse description | A bridled horse in vigorous motion to the left, depicted mid-spring with forelegs raised and trailing rein falling beneath. The animal is rendered with exceptional plasticity and naturalistic energy characteristic of Thracian coinage of the period, its flowing mane finely detailed along the crest of the neck. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or exergual line, the entire composition set against a smooth, slightly concave flan. |

| Reverse description | A grape arbor or vine in full fruit, rendered within a linear square border, symbolizing the celebrated viticulture of the Maroneia region. The name of the presiding magistrate appears as a legend around the central device, with a kerykeion (herald's staff) positioned to the left of the vine motif. The entire design is set within a shallow incuse square, a technique characteristic of early Thracian silver coinage. The composition reflects the civic pride of Maroneia as a major wine-producing city of the northern Aegean. |
