| Obverse description | Facing head of Apollo rendered in three-quarter view, with curling hair framing the face and a serene, idealized expression characteristic of mid-4th century BCE Thessalian coinage. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan, with fine engraving detail visible in the locks of hair radiating from the crown. The style is consistent with regional Thessalian workshop production of the period. No legend or border is present on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Figure of Athena seated to the right upon a rock, wearing a crested Attic helmet and depicted in a semi-draped pose, holding a long spear or scepter upright in her right hand. The deity is rendered in a vigorous, somewhat archaic style typical of Thessalian bronze coinage of the mid-4th century BCE. The ethnic legend ΓΟΜΦΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field to the left of the figure, identifying the issuing city of Gomphoi. The overall composition fills the irregular flan with minimal border treatment. |
