THESSALY. Larissa. Circa 356-342 BC. Hemidrachm (Silver, 15.5 mm, 2.34 g, 11 h). Head of the nymph Larissa facing, turned slightly to the left, wearing ampyx and triple pendant earring. Rev. ΛΑΡΙΣ /ΑΙΩΝ Horse to right, preparing to roll over. BCD Thessaly II 325. Herrmann Group VII, pl. V, 17. HGC 4, 464. SNG Copenhagen 132. Of lovely style. Light porosity and a few minor marks, otherwise, nearly extremely fine.

The interesting thing about the facing head hemidrachms of Larissa is the fact that most are found in quite bad condition - this piece is actually surprisingly nice!
