| Obverse description | Draped bust of the nymph Arne facing right, her hair adorned with a triple pendant earring and a necklace, rendered in fine archaic-classical style. The portrait occupies the central field, exhibiting careful attention to facial detail characteristic of Thessalian civic coinage of the mid-4th century BC. A border of dots frames the design along the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | The figure of Arne depicted in a half-kneeling posture, turned to the left, her hair gathered and tied in a small bun atop her head. She is shown engaged in play with knucklebones positioned to her right, a mythological genre scene distinctive to the coinage of Kierion. The composition is balanced within the irregular flan, reflecting the naturalistic tendencies of mid-4th century BC Thessalian die-cutting. The ethnic legend ΚΙΕΡΙ ΕΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. |
