This is a bronze chalkon coin from ancient Atrax in Thessaly (circa 400–344 BC), featuring Apollo on the obverse and a grazing horse on the reverse.

The horse design reflects Thessaly’s strong historical association with horse breeding.

Coins from Atrax are less common than those from nearby cities, making them moderately collectible.

The Thessalian League was a koinon or loose confederacy of feudal-like poleis and tribes in ancient Thessaly, located in the Thessalian plain in Greece. The seat of the Thessalian League was Larissa.

The Thessalian League was one of the several Greek leagues the Roman tolerated until 146 BCE, when the Roman commander Mummius razed the city of Corinth to the ground, disbanded the leagues, and informally reduced Greece to provincial status.

This rare coin is a must-have for anyone looking to expand their collection.
