| Reverse description | Horseman advancing to left, depicted in a strongly stylised Celtic manner derived from the Macedonian Philip II tetradrachm prototype. The rider raises his right arm aloft while controlling the reins with his left hand, his billowing cloak rendered as sweeping curved lines extending behind him. A distinctive W-form ornament appears above and behind the horse, serving as the defining typological element of this emission. The horse's musculature and legs are abstracted into geometric linear forms consistent with Dacian Celtic coinage of the Transylvanian series. The field is plain with no inscriptions or exergual markings. |
