| Obverse description | Armored warrior on horseback advancing to the right, holding a lance in the raised right hand. The rider and mount are rendered in profile in the typical Hellenistic civic bronze style. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. The strike is moderately worn, with the equestrian figure remaining the dominant compositional element. |
