Obverse description Thessalian horseman advancing to the right, depicted in dynamic motion astride a rearing horse; the rider wears a chlamys and petasos, leaning forward with arm outstretched, conveying martial vigour characteristic of Thessalian coinage of the period. The horse is rendered in high relief with naturalistic musculature, its forelegs raised in a prancing posture. The field is plain, with no legend present on this side. The style reflects the accomplished die-cutting tradition of Thessalian bronze coinage from the late classical period.
