| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of the nymph Larissa facing right, rendered in fine Classical style with hair rolled and secured by a slender ribbon; a single pendant earring adorns her ear. The portrait displays the characteristic idealized treatment of Thessalian coinage of the mid-4th century BC, with naturalistic facial features and carefully detailed coiffure filling the coin's field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Larissa dominated the Thessalian League through much of the fourth century, and its coinage reflects the city's outsize political weight in the region. The horse-breeding aristocracy that ran Larissa — families like the Aleuadae — used coin production as a tool of civic prestige as much as commercial necessity. The trihemiobol denomination served small transactions in a market economy increasingly integrated with Macedonian commercial networks to the north.
This issue falls squarely within the period of Philip II's aggressive interference in Thessalian affairs, culminating in his appointment as Archon of Thessaly around 352 BC.
