| Additional information |
The Thessalian League coinage of this period is poorly understood in terms of mint attribution — scholars continue to debate whether these federal issues were struck at Larissa, Pharsalos, or rotated between member cities. BCD 1005 sits in a contested cluster where die-linkage studies have proven more useful than typology alone in reconstructing the sequence. At roughly half a gram below a full obol's theoretical standard, the weight reflects the chronic inconsistency of early federal Greek silver rather than any deliberate reduction policy.
