| Beschrijving keerzijde | The forepart of a horse shown in profile to the right, with the neck arched and the forelegs raised in a prancing posture, rendered in strong relief characteristic of early Thessalian silver coinage. The musculature of the neck and chest is rendered with careful attention to naturalistic detail. The ethnic legend of Trikka is disposed around the horse in the field, reading ΤΡΙΚΚΑΙΩΝ in Greek characters. The reverse die is slightly off-centre, consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage of the period. The overall style reflects the accomplished die-cutting tradition of Thessaly in the late fifth century BC. |

Trikka was among the earliest Greek cities to strike coins featuring the centaur Thessalos — or possibly the hero Trikkas himself — in a tradition that predates the more famous Larissa coinage. The city sat in the upper Peneios valley in Thessaly proper, controlling territory that included the sanctuary of Asklepios at Trikka, which ancient sources including Strabo identify as the oldest healing shrine to that god in the Greek world, predating even Epidauros.
The BCD collection, assembled by a single private collector over decades, remains the definitive reference for Thessalian bronzes and silvers of this period. His #1352 is among a tight cluster of hemidrachms attributable to this mint on die-linkage evidence alone.
