| Reverse description | Highly stylized horseman (the so-called B-reiter) advancing to the right, rendered in the distinctive Dacian-Celtic abstract idiom derived from Macedonian tetradrachm prototypes. The rider and horse are reduced to bold, schematized forms, with the rider's body composed of globular pellet and arc elements, and a dotted torque or collar visible across the chest. A large feather or palm branch motif occupies the right field behind the horse, serving as a characteristic diagnostic element of this type. The entire design is enclosed within a border of raised dots, with additional pellets scattered in the lower field. No legend or inscription is present. |
