| Reverse description | The nymph Larissa, eponymous deity of the city, depicted striding to the left in a dynamic pose. Her left hand rests at her waist while her raised right hand bounces a ball in the field before her. The figure is rendered in the fluid style of Classical Greek engraving, conveying movement and grace. The abbreviated ethnic inscription ΛΑΡΙ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The reverse design reflects the playful iconography associated with the nymph Larissa in Thessalian civic coinage. |
