| 裏面の説明 | A horse standing to the right in a naturalistic pose, rendered in raised relief with careful attention to musculature and proportion, occupying the central field. The animal stands on a ground line suggested by a wavy exergual line at the base. The ethnic inscription ΣΚΟΤΟΥΣ ΣΑΙΩΝ is disposed in the upper field above the horse, serving as the civic legend of Skotoussa in Thessaly. The composition is typical of Thessalian bronze coinage, reflecting the region's celebrated equestrian culture. |

Skotoussa was a minor Thessalian polis whose history was shaped largely by catastrophe — Philip II of Macedon reportedly razed and depopulated the city in the mid-4th century BC as punishment for its political allegiances, and the community only gradually reconstituted itself. That this bronze issue exists at all suggests a recovery of civic function substantial enough to warrant a local bronze currency, probably during the 3rd century when Thessaly's cities operated under the loose framework of Macedonian suzerainty.
The BCD collection reference, from the landmark Leu auction of Thessalian bronzes in 2006, remains the primary scholarly benchmark for attributing Skotoussan issues.
