| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of the emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Thessalian coinage of the mid-1st century AD. The portrait is unadorned, lacking wreath or diadem, in keeping with early imperial convention. The circular legend ΘΕΣΣΑΛΩΝ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΗΩΝ surrounds the effigy, identifying the issuing authority as the Augustan Thessalians. The die engraving is characteristic of Koinon coinage, with a somewhat compact facial profile and moderately detailed hair. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Koinon of Thessaly resumed autonomous bronze coinage under Claudius after a period of reduced activity, with local magistrates — stratēgoi — named prominently on the issues as a deliberate assertion of regional administrative identity within the Roman provincial framework. Antigonos, named here as stratēgos, would have held the chief executive office of the Thessalian league, a position that carried genuine civic authority even as Rome tightened provincial governance across Achaea.
Claudius reorganized the status of Achaea during his reign, briefly returning it to imperial rather than senatorial administration around 44 AD before reversing course.
