| Additional information |
Larissa Phrikonis was a small Thessalian settlement distinct from the far more prominent Larissa on the Peneios, and its independent bronze coinage is rarely encountered. The city's autonomous issues appear to have ceased well before the Macedonian consolidation of Thessaly under Philip II, leaving a narrow window of production.
