背面描述	Head of a bridled horse facing right, rendered in profile with the neck and forepart visible, the bridle clearly delineated. The mane is rendered with incised lines sweeping back from the poll, and the musculature of the neck is suggested by the relief modelling. The design occupies the centre of the roughly circular flan, with the incuse square field typical of early Cilician hammered coinage.

附加信息	Kelenderis, a coastal city in Rough Cilicia, maintained enough independent monetary authority in the late fifth century to strike fractional silver at a time when many smaller Cilician mints were being absorbed into Persian administrative coinage networks. The hemiobol denomination — half of an obol — served the genuine small-change needs of a port economy, not a prestige function. Dies cut at this scale allowed almost no margin for error, and the tiny fabric means edge splits and weak areas are inherent to the type rather than signs of post-mint damage.
