| Obverse description | Warrior on horseback advancing to the right, depicted within a beaded border. The rider wears a Thessalian petasos and a chlamys, and carries two spears diagonally across his shoulder. The horse is shown in a prancing posture with forelegs raised, rendered in the vigorous archaic style characteristic of Thessalian coinage of the mid-fifth century BC. The scene is contained within a dotted circular border incuse on the flan. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted male figure, likely a warrior or hero, seated to the right on a klismos chair, wearing a short chiton and boots. He holds a round shield in his left hand, examining or adjusting it, while his right hand rests at his side. The letters Π, Ε, Ρ, and Α are disposed in the field around the central figure, serving as the ethnic abbreviation for the Perrhaiboi. The composition is rendered in incuse square with a plain field, typical of Thessalian fractional silver coinage of this period. |
