Watch List notes:

Thessaly, Larissa AR Trihemiobol. Plei..., magistrate. Circa 375 BC. Head of the nymph Larissa right, wearing pendant earring / Half length and bearded bust of Asklepios to right, drapery over his left shoulder and around his waist, his left hand raised and holding a plant or a bunch of herbs; [ΛΑΡΙ to right], ΠΛΕΙ to left. Unpublished, but see Nomos 4, 1138 (same dies). 1.16g, 12mm, 11h.


Good Fine. Extremely Rare; apparently only the third, and arguably most complete example known.

This extremely rare and enigmatic type can now, thanks to the present example, be shown to form part of the series issued by the magistrate Plei... in the first half of the fourth century BC.
