| Obverse description | Bare head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with fine naturalistic detail. The deity is depicted with a full, flowing beard and long wavy hair bound with an oak wreath, its leaves and berries clearly articulated. The portrait displays the robust, idealized physiognomy characteristic of Hellenistic die-cutting, with a strong brow, aquiline nose, and commanding expression. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Athena Itonia advancing vigorously to the right in a dynamic martial pose, clad in full divine panoply. Her right arm is raised and extended forward, hurling a spear, while her left arm bears a large round shield thrust outward defensively. The reverse carries multiple inscription elements: the ethnic ΘΕΣΣΑΛΩΝ distributed in the field, the magistrate name ΝΙΚΟΛΑΟΣ placed above the spear, the abbreviation ΝΙ below the shield, and the name ΓΟΡΓΙΑΣ divided across the left and right fields. The composition exemplifies the vigorous figural style of late Hellenistic Thessalian coinage. |
