| Obverse description | A bull's hoof displayed upon a shield, the circumference of which is delineated by a dotted border, all contained within a dotted circle. To the left of the central device, the Greek letters ΣK are inscribed upward, while the letter O appears to the right. A germinating grain ear, oriented diagonally with its opening end uppermost, is depicted within an incuse square in the field. |

| Reverse description | A germinating grain ear rendered diagonally within a deep incuse square, with the opening or sprouting end positioned at the top. The grain is depicted with fine relief detailing showing individual kernel structure. The incuse technique creates a stark, sunken field that frames and highlights the central botanical motif. The overall execution is characteristic of the small fractional silver coinage of Thessalian mints in the Hellenistic period. |
