| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the archaic Thessalian style with flowing locks of hair falling behind the neck. The facial features are boldly modelled with a strong jaw and prominent brow, characteristic of mid-4th century BCE Greek bronze coinage. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial production. No legend appears on the obverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eurymenai was a minor Thessalian polis of limited political reach, and its bronze coinage reflects the fragmented municipal autonomy that persisted in the region even as Macedonian influence under Philip II tightened throughout the 350s and 340s. The dating of this issue falls squarely within the period of Philip's progressive absorption of Thessaly, culminating in his appointment as archon of the Thessalian League around 352 BC. That this city continued striking its own bronze at all suggests a degree of local administrative continuity even under Macedonian hegemony.
The BCD collection specimen, lot 1039, remains the primary reference point for attribution of this type.
