| Reverse description | A nude youth seated astride a horse pacing to the right, depicted in a naturalistic equestrian pose with the animal's legs in measured stride and the rider's posture upright. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΚΑΣΣΑΝΔΡΟΥ is disposed around the field, reading 'of King Cassander,' asserting the issuer's regal authority. A monogram, identified as MY, appears in the lower field beneath the horse, likely denoting a mint official or workshop. The overall composition is typical of Macedonian bronze coinage of the Diadoch period. |
