Descrizione del dritto	Bare-headed youthful male bust facing right, identified tentatively as Peloros, rendered in archaic Thessalian style with flowing hair indicated by incised lines. The portrait displays strong, rounded facial features characteristic of fourth-century BCE Thessalian coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly off-centre, as typical of hammered issues of this denomination.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Phalanna was a minor Perrhaebian city in northern Thessaly, politically subordinate for much of its history and rarely cited as an independent issuing authority. That it struck its own silver coinage at all reflects a brief window of autonomous civic identity, likely during the 4th or 3rd century BC before Macedonian consolidation effectively ended small-city minting across the region. The BCD collection — assembled by the collector known only by those initials — remains the primary reference corpus for Thessalian civic issues precisely because mainstream catalogues have long neglected them.
