| Beschrijving keerzijde | A grain of wheat or barley rendered in high relief at the center of a shallow incuse square, symbolizing the agricultural prosperity of the Thessalian region. The grain is depicted with naturalistic detailing, slightly elongated and vertically oriented within the incuse. The ethnic abbreviation ΣΚ appears to the left of the grain and the letter O (likely an abbreviation for the magistrate or mint authority) to the right, all within the recessed square. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Skotoussa was a minor Thessalian polis in the Pelasgiotis region, and its independent coinage output was limited — this hemidrachm belongs to a series produced during a window when the city retained enough autonomy to strike its own silver. That autonomy did not last. Skotoussa was destroyed by Alexander of Pherae around 369 BC, its population allegedly massacred or enslaved, ending any civic mint activity permanently.
The BCD collection, from which the reference derives, remains the defining assemblage for Thessalian coinage scholarship.
