{"product_id":"larissa-nymph-horse-greek-coin","title":"Larissa Nymph \u0026 Grazing Horse Greek Coin – Ancient Greece Collectible Token","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Ancient Greece collectible coin replica is inspired by one of the most celebrated coin types of the classical Greek world — the tetradrachm of Larissa, Thessaly, struck circa 400–344 BC. The front face presents a full facing portrait of the nymph Larissa, the mythological founder of the city, her wavy hair framing a serene and beautifully modelled face — a masterpiece of Greek die-cutting art. The reverse depicts a grazing horse with a foal beneath, inscribed with the Greek lettering for Larissa above and below, referencing the city's famous horse-breeding culture and its place among the great equestrian cities of ancient Thessaly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStruck in copper with silver plating and finished with an aged antique patina, this replica captures the worn, tactile quality of a genuine ancient find. This piece is an Ancient Greece historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe facing portrait of the nymph Larissa is considered one of the finest achievements in ancient Greek numismatic art. Unlike the profile portraits typical of most Greek coinage, the full-face design required exceptional skill from the die engraver and was reserved for only the most prestigious issues. Larissa was the mythological daughter of Pelasgus, the first man, and gave her name to the principal city of Thessaly. The reverse horse and foal reflect Thessaly's legendary status as the heartland of Greek horsemanship — the region supplied cavalry to armies across the ancient world, including Alexander the Great's Macedonian forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-sided — Facing portrait of nymph Larissa \/ Grazing horse with foal, Greek inscription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspired by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tetradrachm of Larissa, Thessaly, circa 400–344 BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper with silver plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique silver patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protective display case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a commemorative collectible replica and not legal tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncient Greece and classical history collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreek mythology and numismatic enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory teachers, students, and museum gift buyers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesk display, study collections, and shadow boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThemed ancient coin collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree worldwide tracked shipping \/ Estimated delivery: 9–14 days \/ Each coin is securely packaged for safe arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more designs in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/onemorecoin.com\/collections\/ancient-coins\"\u003eAncient \u0026amp; Historical Coins Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ancient-historical\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisplayed images show the collectible design and relief detail.
