| Obverse description | A horse prancing to the right in high relief, rendered in a vigorous archaic style with muscular definition and flowing tail. Above the horse's back, a large kantharos (wine cup) is depicted, flanked by the Greek legend MAPΩN arranged around the upper field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The composition reflects the characteristic civic iconography of Maroneia, a Thracian city renowned for its wine production. |
