| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Artemis standing facing left, clad in a short chiton, holding an upright spear in her right hand with a quiver visible over her right shoulder. The goddess is depicted in a frontal stance with her weight evenly distributed, rendered in a style typical of Thessalian bronze coinage of the late fourth century BC. The ethnic legend ΕΚΚΑΡ is inscribed vertically to the left of the figure and ΡΕΩΝ to the right, identifying the issuing community of Ekkarra. |

| Additional information |
Ekkarra was a minor Thessalian community whose independent bronze coinage is attested only within this narrow window of the late fourth century BC — likely a brief assertion of local civic identity during the turbulent period following Macedonian consolidation of Thessaly under Philip II. Whether production ceased by choice or absorption is unresolved. The BCD collection, which remains the definitive reference corpus for Thessalian bronzes, yielded only a single example at the first sale.
