| Reverse description | A youthful male figure, identified as Taras or a young rider, kneeling upon the back of a horse advancing to the right; the figure appears nude and grasps the animal's neck or mane. A dolphin is visible in the lower right field, a recurring emblem of Tarentum referencing the city's mythological founder Taras. The ethnic inscription TA appears in the upper left field, with an additional letter or symbol to the lower left. A ground line composed of small pellets or a decorative border runs beneath the horse. The composition is energetic and typical of Tarentine reverse iconography across multiple denominations. |
