| Reverse description | A horseman advancing to the right on a prancing horse, depicted in lively motion with forelegs raised. The rider is dressed in a chlamys, the military cloak billowing behind him, and raises his right arm, possibly brandishing a weapon or gesturing in a gesture of authority. The composition is rendered with vigorous, if schematic, engraving characteristic of Emporitane coinage of the 5th–4th century BC, filling the flan without a border or legend. |
