THESSALY. Larissa Kremaste. Mid 4th century B.C. Æ. 8.48 gm. 21 mm. Head of Achilles right / Thetis seated on hippocamp left, holding shield with Achilles (AX) monogram, dolphin to lower left; ΛΑΡΙΣΑΙΩΝ. SNG Copenhagen 151 var. (obverse head left). Cf. BCD Thessaly I, 1175. Good Fine - Near Very Fine; red and brown patina. Rare with obverse head to right, and full ethnic on reverse.From BCD in 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."
