| Reverse description | A helmeted and cuirassed horseman, identified as a Kibyratic dynast, charges to the right at full gallop, brandishing a long spear in his right hand and bearing a round shield on his left arm. Behind the horse and rider, an eagle stands atop a thunderbolt, serving as a dynastic or civic symbol. The Greek ethnic legend ΙΑΓΟΑΣ ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing authority of Kibyra in Phrygia. |
