Larissa Kremaste was a minor Thessalian city on the Achaea Phthiotis coast, often overshadowed by the dominant Larissa on the Peneios plain — a separate polis entirely, despite sharing the name. Bronze civic coinage of this type was issued during a period when Thessaly was caught between the expansionist pressure of the Second Athenian Confederacy and the internal political turbulence of the Thessalian League's tageia system. Few Thessalian bronze issues from this century survive in substantial numbers, and Kremaste's output was modest by any measure.
