| Obverse description | A horse prancing to the right in high relief, rendered with naturalistic musculature and a prominent mane depicted in fine parallel strokes. A small circular symbol, likely a wheel or rondel, appears in the upper left field above the horse's back. The design is set within a plain incuse border, characteristic of early Thracian coinage, with the coin's irregular flan showing the robust hammered technique of the period. |
