| Obverse description | Head of a nymph or female deity facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style, occupying the central field of the flan. The portrait displays loose, flowing hair and exhibits the characteristic stylistic simplicity of Thessalian bronze coinage of the fourth century BC. The surrounding field is largely plain, with no visible inscription on this face. The flan is irregularly shaped, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |

| Additional information |
Larissa Phrikonis was a minor Thessalian city whose independent bronze coinage was issued during a period when the region's internal politics were dominated by the dynastic struggles of the Aleuadae and Scopadae families. The city's issues are rare enough that die linkages across surviving specimens remain incompletely catalogued.
