Reverse description Sagittarius advancing to the right, depicted as a centaur-archer in the act of drawing a bow, occupying the central field of the reverse. The figure combines human and equine elements in the traditional representation of the zodiacal archer, a common type on provincial bronzes of Mesopotamia. The rendering is in low relief in a provincial style typical of the Rhesaena mint. The field is otherwise plain with no visible exergue line or subsidiary symbols. The coin exhibits significant surface corrosion and wear, obscuring finer details of the design.
