Comment
Moustaka 1983, 73 and pl. 9 (this coin, but as a hemiobol).
Interesting fact
The Tetartemorion coin from Pherai (Thessaly) features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting the head of a young woman surrounded by a wreath of olive leaves. This design is believed to represent the goddess Athena, who was revered as a symbol of wisdom and prosperity in ancient Greece. The use of Athena's image on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea that the city of Pherai was a place of wisdom and prosperity, or that the coin itself was a symbol of those values.
