| Aversbeschreibung | The youthful hero Thessalos is depicted nude save for a chlamys draped over his shoulders and a petasos hat at his back, shown in three-quarter or frontal pose wrestling with the forepart of a bull leaping to the right; he grips a band or fillet firmly with both hands beneath the bull's horns. The composition is vigorous and dynamic, reflecting the high artistic quality characteristic of early Thessalian silver coinage. A border of dots encircles the entire design. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The forepart of a bridled horse prancing to the right is rendered in bold relief within a shallow incuse square featuring rounded edges and corners, a hallmark of early Thessalian hammered coinage. The horse's musculature and bridle details are rendered with confident die-cutting. The ethnic inscription ΤΡΙΚΚΑΙ-Ω appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Trikka. |

Trikka, a minor Thessalian city whose chief claim in antiquity was as the supposed birthplace of Asklepios, produced coinage that punches well above its political weight. The city sat in the upper Peneios valley and controlled one of the oldest healing sanctuaries in the Greek world — a sanctuary that predates the more famous one at Epidauros and may explain why Thessalian coinage from this region shows such consistent iconographic investment relative to the city's modest size.
The BCD collection, from which the primary reference here derives, remains the definitive scholarly benchmark for Thessalian bronzes and silvers; BCD Thessaly II lot 767 established the die linkage classification still used for this type.
