Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features the image of a horned horse, which was a symbol of the city of Lysimacheia. The horse is depicted in a running pose, with its head turned back and its tail flowing behind it. This design was a common motif on coins from Lysimacheia and was meant to represent the city's strength and prosperity.
