Beschrijving keerzijde A horse standing or walking to the right, rendered with naturalistic musculature and detail characteristic of Thessalian coinage, which celebrated the region's renowned equestrian tradition. The horse is depicted with a slightly arched neck and raised foreleg, conveying a sense of spirited motion. The ethnic inscription ΑΤΡΑΓΙΩΝ, denoting the citizens of Atrax, is distributed in the field around the horse, partially above and to the right. The ground line below the horse is faintly indicated. The overall composition fills the irregular flan in a bold, confident die-cutting style.

Aanvullende informatie

Atrax was a Thessalian polis in the Pelasgiotis region, sitting on the Peneios river, and its independent coinage issues are scarce enough that the BCD collection — the defining reference for Thessalian numismatics — catalogued this specific type as a single lot entry. The city's coinage output was modest by any measure, which places surviving specimens in a historically thin field.
