Androcephalous horse galloping right, led by charioteer extending left hand; a beaded and pointed ringlet above the croup, the vexillum in front of the horse and a winged figure folded in on itself between the horse's legs.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features a Greek-style head of Apollo, highlighting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during this period in history.
