| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Thessalian horseman gallops to the right, depicted in the dynamic style typical of northern Greek bronze coinage. The rider is clad in a broad-brimmed petasos, a billowing chlamys, and a short chiton, conveying swift movement. The horse is shown prancing or in full canter, with legs raised and tail extended. The ethnic inscription ΦΑΡΣ appears in the field, rendered partially in retrograde Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Pharsalos. The composition fills the flan with energy, reflecting Thessaly's celebrated equestrian culture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pharsalos was among the most powerful cities of Thessaly during the fourth century, its wealth built substantially on the vast grain-producing plains of the region and the political muscle of its aristocratic elite — most notably the Thessalian League connections exploited by figures like Jason of Pherai. This small bronze was likely struck to meet local transactional demand in a city that minted relatively sparingly in bronze compared to its silver output.
The date range closes at 344 BC, when Philip II of Macedon reorganized Thessaly and effectively absorbed its cities into his political orbit, ending independent civic coinage for most of the region.
