THESSALY, Larissa. Circa 380-370 BC. AR Drachm (20mm, 6.05 g, 11h). Reverse die signed by the artist Epi–. Head of the nymph Larissa left, in the style of Euainetos, wearing triple-pendant earring and pearl necklace; ΛAPIΣA to left / Bridled horse prancing right; ΛAP-I-ΣAI-ΩN around, EΠI below. Lorber, Thessalian 100 var. (no legend on obv., nor below on rev.); BCD Thessaly I 1133 (this coin); HGC 4, 448. Light gray tone with some blue iridescence around the devices, minor edge split, a few light marks, slight doubling on reverse. Near EF. Excellent style with much eye appeal. Extremely rare with additional legends.

From the Deer Creek Collection. Ex Sheikh Saud Al-Thani Collection (Part III, Numismatica Ars Classica 124, 23 June 2021), lot 117; BCD Collection (Nomos 4, 10 May 2011), lot 1133; Giessener Münzhandlung 44 (3 April 1989), lot 275.

While the ‘Euainetos’ head type is relatively rare among the coins of Larissa, this particular issue, with the legend identifying the portrait as that of the eponymous nymph and the signature on the reverse, is particularly rare. The additional legends also suggest that this coin is likely struck from the first dies of this coinage.
