Trihemiobol

Larissa's coinage of this period was produced by a city that controlled the most fertile plain in Thessaly — the Pelasgiotis — and functioned as a dominant regional power without ever quite translating that agricultural wealth into numismatic prestige on the pan-Hellenic scale. The trihemiobol denomination itself is an awkward fractional unit, rarely struck with consistency across Greek minting centers, which makes Larissaean examples of this period more useful to students of Thessalian metrology than the more glamorous civic issues attract.

BCD Thessaly I #1113 places this piece within a tightly catalogued sequence assembled from one of the most rigorously documented Thessalian collections ever offered at auction — the BCD collection, sold by Nomos in 2011.
