| Reversbeschreibung | A forepart of a horse or horse's foreleg rendered in high relief at center, depicted in a bold, schematic style characteristic of Thessalian coinage. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΕΙΟΝ is arranged around the device in two groups, reading partially to the left and partially to the right of the central motif, referencing the authority of Alexander of Pherai. The lettering is in archaic Greek majuscules, and the flan is irregular with rough edges typical of hammered ancient coinage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Pherai under the tyrants Jason and then Alexander was one of the most militarily aggressive poleis in fourth-century Thessaly. Alexander of Pherai — infamous for his cruelty, eventually assassinated by his own brothers-in-law in 358 BC — issued coinage that functioned partly as a statement of regional dominance during a period when Pherai was locked in bitter conflict with the Thessalian League and its Boeotian backers. Pelopidas died fighting Alexander at Cynoscephalae in 364 BC, a measure of how seriously Thebes took the threat.
BCD 1312 is a well-documented specimen from the landmark Pherai section of the BCD Thessaly collection, auctioned by Nomos in 2011.
