THESSALY, Larissa Kremaste. 4th century BC. Æ Trichalkon (19mm, 5.32 g, 2h). Bare head of Achilles right / Thetis seated left on hippocamp, holding shield of Achilles with his AX monogram. Rogers 312; BCD Thessaly I 1175 var. (same obv. die; dolphin on rev.); HGC 4, 12. Dark green patina, some roughness. Near VF. Rare with head of Achilles to right.

Ex Hirsch 257 (23 September 2008), lot 2158.

A note from BCD from the Nomos sale: The style of the issues with the head of Achilles to the right is much finer and the engraving more detailed than the coins with the obverse to left. This suggests an initial issue from dies engraved by a gifted artist. These coins are also much rarer than the ones with the obverse to left and practically impossible to find in decent condition.
