| Reverse description | A youthful rider, depicted in profile moving to the right, seated astride a horse in full gallop. The horseman wears a chlamys and is shown with arms extended in the manner typical of Thessalian equestrian bronzes. The ethnic legend ΑΛΕΩN appears in the field above or around the figure, identifying the issuing city of Halos. The reverse composition is characteristic of the Thessalian region's civic coinage, reflecting local pride in horsemanship. |
