| Reverse description | Head of the city nymph Phalanna facing right, her hair fully enclosed in a close-fitting sakkos (fabric hair-covering), with a plain necklace visible at her throat. The portrait is rendered in the restrained Hellenistic style characteristic of Thessalian civic bronzes, with delicate facial features and a neat profile. The ethnic legend ΦΑΛΑΝΝAΙΩΝ arcs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the issuing community. The design reflects the common Greek practice of personifying the city's eponymous nymph as its civic emblem. |
