THESSALY, Larissa. Circa 356-342 BC. Drachm (Silver, 6.15 g 11). 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. Lorber, 2008 38 ff. A lovely example, toned and with good surfaces. Good extremely fine.


This is the first example of the last issue of Larissa drachms, the so-called mass issue of the 350s-340s BC. They were produced in very large numbers, probably to help with Philip II’s finances, and are at present under study.
