| Obverse description | Thessalian horseman riding right at full gallop, depicted in dynamic profile; the rider, wearing a petasos or chlamys, leans forward over the horse's neck in a posture characteristic of Thessalian equestrian coinage. The horse is rendered with considerable naturalistic energy, its forelegs raised and mane flowing. The composition fills the irregularly shaped flan, with the figures executed in relatively high relief typical of early fourth-century Thessalian silver issues. |

| Reverse description | Nymph Trikka seated to the right on a rock or throne, draped, her torso turned slightly toward the viewer; she holds a wreath or branch in her raised right hand and a second object, possibly an aryballos or small vessel, in her left. The figure is rendered in fine incuse relief with careful attention to drapery folds, consistent with the artistic conventions of Thessalian coinage of the early fourth century BC. A small control symbol appears to the lower left of the field. |
