Horse passing to the left, a curved line starting from its mouth and joining a sort of beaded circle, a beaded ringlet above the croup.
Interesting fact
The Drachm with horse from Ruteni (Gallia Narbonensis) is an interesting coin because it features a unique design element - a horse - which was not commonly found on coins of that time period. The inclusion of the horse on the coin may have been a symbol of strength, power, or mobility, and its presence on the coin could have been meant to convey the importance of these qualities to the people of Ruteni. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, may have been a reflection of the wealth and prosperity of the region at the time.
