| Reverse description | A horse standing right upon a ground line (exergual line), its head turned back to the left in a naturalistic pose; a palm tree rises prominently in the background, serving as a symbol of Carthage, and a six-pointed star appears in the right field. The composition reflects the standard iconographic program of Carthaginian bronze coinage of the Second Punic War period. |
