| Obverse description | A bridled horse leaping to the left with trailing rein occupies the lower portion of the field. Above the horse, a laureate head of Apollo is rendered in three-quarter face, turned slightly to the right, reflecting the early classical artistic style characteristic of Thracian mint production. The ethnic abbreviation MAPΩN appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Maroneia. The composition is energetic, with the dynamic horse serving as the principal design element against a plain field. |
