This genuine ancient coin has been mounted in a modern 18 karat gold ring.
The lovely head on the obverse of this coin is that of the River Nymph Larissa, patroness of the ancient Thessalian capital. On the reverse is a wild horse, symbolic of Thessaly and her much-prized freedom. Wearing this splendid ring, we are made aware of the poetic beauty the Ancient Greeks saw everywhere in their world, and are reminded to seek out the natural wonders in our own, to take nothing that is beautiful for granted.
