| Beschrijving keerzijde | Head of a lion facing right, rendered with bold, high-relief modeling, the mane depicted with deeply cut radiate striations extending across the left field. The beast's open jaws reveal its teeth, conveying fierce vitality in the manner typical of Thessalian civic bronzes of the period. A small globule or ball appears below the lion's chin. The ethnic legend ΦΕΡΑΙΟΝ is disposed around the lion's head, reading partially above and to the right and continuing below, identifying the issuing community of Pherai in Thessaly. The design fills the flan with confident, vigorous workmanship within a raised border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pherai rose to regional dominance under the tyrant Jason, who by 374 BC had united much of Thessaly under his tageia and was widely feared as a destabilizing force in mainland Greek politics — Xenophon records that even Sparta treated him warily. His assassination in 370 BC, followed by the violent succession struggles among his nephews, compressed the city's period of genuine political authority into barely a generation. Bronze civic issues from Pherai are accordingly scarce, produced during a window of ambition that closed almost as quickly as it opened.
