| Reverse description | A youthful nude jockey rides a horse at full gallop to the right, holding the reins in one hand and a palm branch of victory in the other. Beneath the horse, the letter Λ appears above a race torch, serving as a control mark. Below the horse's foreleg, the monogram ΜΕ is visible as a secondary control symbol. The legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ arcs along the right field, identifying the coin as an issue of Philip. The composition is dynamic and characteristic of the athletic imagery promoted on Macedonian royal coinage. |
