Obverse description Youth depicted nude, seated sideways on a horse prancing to the left, with his right hand raised and legs hanging loosely. The horse is shown with careful anatomical detail, its mane rendered in fine engraved lines. A dotted border frames the central device. The composition reflects the archaic Cilician artistic tradition characteristic of Kelenderis coinage.
