| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse rendered in fine naturalistic style, stepping slowly to the right with head lowered to graze, its legs extended and hooves firmly planted on a ground line. The animal's musculature and mane are carefully detailed, reflecting the celebrated Thessalian tradition of horse breeding and the artistic sophistication of the mint. The ethnic legend ΛΑΡΙΣΑΙ is inscribed along the lower field, partially beneath the ground line, in clear archaic Greek characters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Larissa was the dominant polis of Thessaly during this period, and its coinage served the broader Thessalian League's commercial networks stretching toward Macedonia and the Aegean. The city sat astride the Peneios River valley, and its agricultural wealth — particularly horse breeding — funded a mint that produced some of the most accomplished die-cutting of any Greek provincial center.
BCD 1147 falls within a well-documented sequence studied exhaustively in the BCD collection sale, where die links between specimens helped reconstruct the emission order. The Larissa drachm series of this period is notable for die engravers who signed or are attributed by style, though individual attribution for this specific reference remains contested among specialists.
