| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Artemis facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing hair gathered and tied, a loose curl falling behind the neck; drapery visible at the base of the neck. The bow and quiver of the goddess are depicted behind her head in the upper left field. The portraiture is of high artistic quality, exhibiting the refined naturalism characteristic of early third-century BC Thessalian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Demetrias was founded by Demetrius Poliorcetes around 294 BC as a synoikism — a forced amalgamation — of several older Magnesian settlements including Pagasai, Neleia, and Spalauthra. The city was designed from the outset as a military and naval base, and its coinage reflects that brief window of Macedonian ambition in Thessaly before the region passed through successive hands. The mint was active for only a short period, which explains why this hemidrachm appears across so many major reference collections without large die populations to support it.
