| Reverse description | A nude youth on horseback riding to the right, depicted in a lively, naturalistic style typical of Macedonian bronze coinage. The horse is shown in full stride with raised forelegs. A petasos (broad-brimmed traveller's hat) with hanging strings is depicted below the horse, serving as a secondary device in the lower field. The Greek legend ΦIΛIΠΠOY appears in the field, identifying the issuer as Philip II of Macedon. |
