| Reverse description | Philip II, depicted wearing the Macedonian kausia and chlamys, rides a horse walking to the left; the king raises his right hand in a gesture of salute or acclamation. Beneath the horse's raised foreleg, a bow is shown, and below the horse, a club extends to the left, both serving as secondary symbols. The ethnic inscription ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ appears in Greek letters in the right field, identifying the issuing king. The composition is dynamic yet restrained, reflecting the accomplished die-cutting tradition of the Amphipolis mint during the reign of Philip II. |
