| Obverse description | Nude warrior depicted in the act of dismounting from a horse galloping to left, holding the bridle reins in his extended right hand and a small round shield in his left; the figure displays the athletic precision characteristic of Tarentine coinage of this period. The letter Λ appears in the field below the horse, likely serving as a magistrate's or engraver's initial. The entire design is enclosed within a circle of waves, a distinctive border motif emblematic of Tarentum's maritime identity. |
