Reverse description	Postumus on horseback advancing left, mounted on a rearing horse and dressed in full military attire including a radiate crown; the emperor raises his right hand in a gesture of command while the horse tramples a fallen enemy beneath its hooves, symbolising imperial victory and dominance. The scene is rendered with vigorous movement typical of Gallic Empire workshop style. A palm branch is visible beneath the horse, further emphasising martial triumph. The surrounding legend PM TPP COS PP — Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestas, Consul, Pater Patriae — records the emperor's principal constitutional titles.
