| Reverse description | Armored horseman galloping vigorously to the right, lance couched horizontally beneath his arm in the classic Iberian jinete style. The rider wears a crested helmet and a military cloak (paludamentum) that billows behind him. Beneath the horse, a legend in Iberian script reads the mint name of Osca (modern Huesca), rendered in the semi-syllabic Levantine Iberian script. The exergue line separates the inscription from the lower field. The dynamic composition and strong relief are characteristic of the finest Celtiberian silver issues. |
