The designs on coins are often laden with symbolism.
Kings, queens and presidents have used them to express
ideas or to display their own likeness. The ancient
Greeks were notorious for their love of symbolism,
and on this coin of the legendary Greek king and
conqueror, 'Alexander the Great,' we find some of
the best ever produced, as he portrays himself as
the Greeks' greatest warrior/god, Hercules.

Portrait
of a Water Nymph
|
|
|
The
city of Larissa and its surrounding pastures were
famous for its fine horses, which were exported
all over the Greek world and admired locally. Hence
the back of this coin which depicts a horse grazing
on the lands which were amply watered by the namesake
nymph. The front of this coin shows the three-quarters
facing bust of the nymph Larissa herself. The two
most prominent locks of hair rising from her forehead
probably represent horns, and may allude to the
stage in the nymph's life in which she assumed the
form of a cow and was courted by the god of the
oceans, poseidon. read
