THESSALY, Ainianes. Circa 400-344 BC. AR Hemidrachm (16mm, 2.64 g). Laureate head of Zeus left / Warrior (Phemios), holding shield and cloak, wearing sword, preparing to throw javelin right. SNG Copenhagen 1. Near VF.

All of the references note the object in the warrior's left hand as a petasos, but on this example a boss and grip are plainly visible. In the context of his stance, it must certainly be a shield.
