| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, rendered in three-quarter rear view, with draped shoulders partially visible. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features associated with this emperor, with flowing hair beneath the laurel wreath. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, running along the coin's border. The workmanship reflects provincial mint style typical of Thessalian bronze coinage of the Severan period. |

| Reverse description | The mythological centaur Chiron depicted in full gallop to the right, his equine body rendered with vigorous forward motion. His right hand is raised and his left hand bears a palm branch held over his left shoulder, identifying him as the celebrated tutor of heroes. A lyre appears beneath his forelegs, referencing his legendary skill in music and the arts. The value mark Γ (three assaria) is prominently placed above his back. The reverse legend identifies both the issuing community and the depicted figure, framing the design along the coin's periphery. |
