| Obverse description | Poseidon Hippios depicted as a nude or lightly draped rider advancing to right on horseback, brandishing a trident in his raised hand. The god's commanding equestrian figure is rendered in a vigorous archaic style characteristic of early fifth-century Macedonian coinage. A pellet is visible on the neck of the horse, with an additional pellet positioned below, serving as subsidiary control or decorative marks. The composition fills the flan dynamically, with the horse's legs in mid-stride. |
