| Beschrijving keerzijde | Male figure, likely a youth or hero, striding vigorously to the left in dynamic pose, depicted nude with outstretched arms. The figure holds an indeterminate object in the right hand and appears to be in athletic or combative motion. The ethnic inscription in Greek letters is divided across the field, flanking the figure on either side. The relief is bold and the style archaic, consistent with mid-fifth century BC Thessalian engraving conventions. The incuse square design typical of early hammered coinage frames the composition. |

Larissa's coinage from this period belongs to the early phase of Thessalian civic minting, when the city was consolidating power within the Thessalian League and competing commercially with neighbors like Pharsalos and Krannon. The obol denomination served small-transaction trade in a region whose economy ran heavily on horse breeding and agricultural surplus — the very industries that made Thessaly wealthy enough to mint at all.
BCD Thessaly I 1111 places this piece within a tightly catalogued die study from the late Colin Kraay tradition, where Larissaean fractions remain notoriously difficult to sequence without hoard evidence.
