| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in bold high relief with characteristic flowing hair and full beard typical of Hellenistic die-cutting in Thessaly. The laureate wreath is visible across the brow, with wavy locks of hair swept back behind the ear. The portrait displays strong, mature facial features with a prominent nose and furrowed brow, conveying divine authority. The flan is irregular, as is common for struck bronze coinage of the period, with the design well-centered within the field. |

| Reverse description | Hera, draped in long robes, seated in three-quarter view on a high-backed throne facing right. She holds a long scepter upright in her extended right hand, while her left hand rests upon her knee. The composition is a classical Hellenistic rendering of the enthroned goddess, recalling votive cult imagery associated with Hera's sanctuaries in Thessaly. The ethnic inscription ΠΕΡΡΑΙ ΒΩΝ (of the Perrhaiboi) appears in the field, and a monogram of ΣΩ is placed to the right of the figure. |
