背面描述	A horse prancing vigorously to the left, rendered with a naturalistic musculature characteristic of Numidian equestrian iconography, reflecting the kingdom's celebrated cavalry tradition. The animal is depicted with forelegs raised and hindquarters extended in full gallop. A single pellet appears in the lower field beneath the horse, serving as a control or denomination mark. The reverse field is otherwise plain with no legend or exergual line, and the overall style is consistent with the Hellenistic-influenced bronze coinage of the Numidian royal mint.

附加信息	Numidia's bronze coinage emerged directly from the kingdom's alliance with Rome during the Second Punic War, when Massinissa's cavalry proved decisive at Zama in 202 BC. The pellet mark distinguishes a specific emission within this series and has been associated with distinct circulation zones across the Numidian interior, though scholarly consensus on precise attribution between Massinissa and Micipsa remains unsettled — the dynasty's nearly continuous output over eight decades complicates die-sequence analysis. Massinissa ruled for over fifty years after Zama, dying in 148 BC reportedly at age 90, still commanding troops in the field.
