| Reverse description | The nymph Larissa, eponymous deity of the city, depicted walking to right in flowing drapery. She balances a hydria upon her raised left knee, in the act of filling the vessel at a fountain. Behind her, a lion's-head spout to right issues water, referencing the sacred spring of the city. The legend flanks the figure in the field. The design is rendered in an early Classical style typical of Thessalian civic coinage. |
