THESSALY. Pherai. Alexander, Tyrant, 369-358 BC. Stater (Silver, 24.5 mm, 11.42 g, 1 h). ΕΝ-ΝΟ[Δ-ΙΑ]Σ Laureate head of Ennodia to right, wearing earring with a large, central, triangular pendant and a pearl necklace. Rev. ΑΛ-ΕΞΑΝΔ-ΡΕ-Ι-Ο-Σ Alexander, wearing cavalry helmet, cuirass and with his sheathed sword on a baldric around his chest, riding horse galloping to right, holding the reins in his left hand and a couchant lance in his right, on horse’s rump, brand in the form of a double ax. BCD I 1308 = Wartenberg 17 (same dies). Of great rarity, apparently only the second known example. Struck from dies made by a master engraver and of the finest late Classical style. Both sides somewhat rough with traces of corrosion, otherwise, extremely fine.
