| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse prancing to the right with its foreleg raised, rendered in a lively, schematic style typical of Thessalian provincial bronzes. The animal is depicted in profile, occupying the central field, with the ethnic legend ΘЄϹϹΑΛⲰΝ disposed around the periphery, identifying the issuing authority as the Koinon of Thessaly. A dotted border or pellet border frames the design. The composition recalls the celebrated horse iconography long associated with Thessalian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued under the Koinon of Thessaly during the reign of Hadrian, this small bronze belongs to a federated coinage system that the Thessalians maintained with unusual continuity across the imperial period. Hadrian's personal affinity for Greece — he visited multiple times and held the archonship at Athens — created a permissive climate for provincial Greek leagues to reassert cultural identity through coin types deliberately anchored in pre-Roman mythology.
The BCD Thessaly II reference places this among a well-documented group from the Leu Numismatik sale of the BCD collection, the most rigorously catalogued assembly of Thessalian coinage ever offered at auction.
