[QUOTE="Nvb, post: 4525944, member: 99531"]I've certainly slowed down with coin purchasing in 2020, but today picked up a little treat from an Ebay seller at what I consider a bargain. Almost certainly inspired by Kimon's breathtaking work a generation earlier, the facing busts of Larissa come in a variety of flavours and price ranges that are attainable for the rest of us. So here it is - the reverse is in rough shape, but who are we kidding this purchase was all about the portrait =) [IMG]https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3020069.jpg[/IMG] [B]THESSALY, Larissa. [/B]Circa 380-365 BC. AR Drachm (18mm, 5.71 g, 5h). Head of the nymph Larissa facing slightly left, with grain ears in her hair / Mare in foreground and foal in background standing right. L-S series 6, type A, dies O1/R1; BCD Thessaly II 294 (same dies). VF, toned, reverse a bit rough. Ex-CNG 302 lot 69 (May 8, 2013)[/QUOTE]
