Reverse description Luna, the moon goddess, depicted as a draped figure standing in a fast-moving biga (two-horse chariot) galloping to the right, holding the reins in her left hand and a whip in her right hand. The dynamic composition conveys swift celestial motion, consistent with late Republican artistic conventions. The moneyer's name L•VALERIVS is inscribed in the exergue or along the lower field, identifying Lucius Valerius as the issuing magistrate. The whole is encircled by a border of dots.
