| Reverse description | A horse prancing or rearing to the left, depicted in profile with considerable vitality and naturalistic energy characteristic of Macedonian equestrian iconography under Philip II. The animal is shown with arched neck, forelegs raised, and hindquarters lowered, occupying the central field of the flan. Below the horse, a ground line or exergual element is faintly visible. The Greek legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ is positioned in the field, identifying the issuing authority as Philip II. The composition reflects the Macedonian royal emphasis on cavalry prowess as a dynastic symbol. |
