| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena in right profile, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with decorative relief work. The goddess's facial features are rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic style, with a well-defined eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. Locks of hair emerge beneath the helmet and fall along the neck. The overall workmanship is typical of Thessalian civic bronze coinage of the 3rd century BC. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing vigorously to the right, rendered in a lively, naturalistic style characteristic of Thessalian coinage, with all four legs raised in dynamic motion. The ethnic legend ΣΚΟΤΟYΣΣΑΙΩΝ appears in the field, divided above and below the horse. The Greek letter Φ (phi) is visible beneath the tail, likely serving as a magistrate's or control mark. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered Thessalian bronze issues of this period. |
