The animal's legs are outstretched in a spirited gait, with mane and tail rendered in relief. The inscription appears in the field, consistent with the civic coinage of Skotoussa. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Skotoussa was a Thessalian polis of middling regional significance, situated in the Pelasgiotis district — better known today as the site where Philip V of Macedon crushed a Roman-allied force in 197 BC at nearby Cynoscephalae, the battle that effectively ended Macedonian dominance in Greece. The city's autonomous bronze coinage, of which this trichalkon is a product, was struck during a window of relative independence before that geopolitical collapse reshuffled local minting authority across Thessaly.
Thessalian bronze at this denomination circulated primarily at the local market level, and surviving specimens attributable specifically to Skotoussa remain comparatively scarce against the broader regional output.
