| Obverse description | Head of the nymph Larissa facing right, her hair bound with a wreath or band and arranged in wavy locks falling to the neck. The portraiture is rendered in a naturalistic Thessalian style characteristic of the mid-fourth century BC, with delicate facial features and a serene expression. The image fills the flan with no visible legend or inscription on this side. |

| Reverse description | A horse standing or grazing to the right, depicted in profile with naturalistic musculature; the animal's head is lowered toward the ground in a grazing posture. The type alludes to Thessaly's renowned equestrian culture and horse-breeding tradition. The ethnic legend ΛΑΡΙΣΑΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Larissa. The overall composition is compact and boldly rendered within the irregular flan typical of hammered Thessalian bronze coinage. |
