| Reverse description | A jockey rides a prancing horse to the right, depicted in a lively, naturalistic style with the rider wearing a broad-brimmed kausia helmet. The horse is shown in full stride with raised forelegs, conveying vigorous motion. The Greek legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ appears above the horse, reading from right to left in the upper field, while ΗΜ appears as a control mark below the horse in the exergue. A palm frond is visible to the right of the horse, serving as an additional symbol. The entire composition reflects the celebrated Macedonian tradition of equestrian imagery on royal coinage. |
