Beschrijving keerzijde	A horse shown in full gallop facing right, depicted in a dynamic, animated pose with all four legs extended and the head raised, capturing the spirited equestrian tradition emblematic of Numidian coinage. The animal's musculature is rendered with energy and movement across the broad, unadorned field. No legend or exergual inscription accompanies the design. This motif reflects the deep cultural importance of the horse in Numidian royal iconography, echoing earlier Carthaginian and North African numismatic traditions.
