| Reverse description | Athena Itonia advancing vigorously to the right in martial stride, her right arm raised and extended to hurl a long spear, her left arm bearing a round shield. An owl stands to the left beneath the shield, a well-known symbol of divine wisdom associated with Athena. The ethnic legend ΘEΣΣA-ΛΩN is inscribed in the field, divided across the reverse, while the magistrate's name IΠΠ-OΛO appears above the spear, identifying a Thessalian League official. |
