| Beschrijving voorzijde | Kantharos (wine cup) depicted facing, with two prominent loop handles, set within a shallow incuse square or circular border. The vessel is rendered in a plain, archaic style characteristic of Thessalian bronze coinage of the early fourth century BC. The field surrounding the kantharos is largely plain and unadorned. The design is boldly struck, with the kantharos occupying the majority of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Skotoussa was a minor Thessalian polis in the Pelasgiotis region, and its independent bronze coinage is rare enough that the BCD collection — the benchmark reference for Thessalian numismatics — accounts for the majority of specimens recorded in scholarship. The city's autonomy was effectively extinguished when Philip II of Macedon razed Skotoussa sometime around 352 BC, a destruction explicitly noted by ancient sources in connection with his campaigns to dominate Thessaly.
That political erasure gives the dating window real significance. Any specimen from this type was struck within a generation of the city's end.
