I’m not sure if this qualifies as a COTD, but I’m going to give it a shot.
I was delighted to be fortunate enough to bring this Larissian
obol into my
collection, a coin once owned by
BCD. To me it’s condition is remarkable; in hand it is simply wonderful.
Obv:
horse prancing r.
Rev: Λ - Α (lower l. corner, upper r. corner)
Larissa walking l. wearing
Chiton, l. hand lowered behind her and bouncing a ball in front of her with raised r. Hand.
