THESSALY, Larissa. Circa 380-365 BC. AR Drachm (19.5mm, 6.03 g, 10h). Middle facing head type. Head of the nymph Larissa facing slightly right / Horse grazing right. L-S Series 2, Type A, O2/R2, a (this coin cited and illustrated); BCD Thessaly 284 (same obv. die); HGC 4, 440. Toned, minor granularity, die break on obverse. VF.

Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 30 (4 June 2001), lot 62792.

As noted in the die study (L-S), this reverse type is closely related to the types with boukranion symbol on the reverse, as both have the full ethnic inscribed below the exergue line. This issue without the symbol, known from one obverse and two reverse dies, appears to be transitional.
