Obverse. A stylised profile to the right, with a small ring to the left of the almond-shaped eye and a star and an ‘esse’ beneath the nose. Below, two oblique rows on either side of a straight line evoke a laurel wreath.
Reverse: A leaping horse facing right, surmounted by a radiant star above the hindquarters.

Very well centred on the obverse with the profile details clearly defined. The reverse is only slightly off-centre. Attractive grey patina. Superb.
