Profile to the right, of Apollonian origin. Hair formed by S-shaped locks with spiral coils. On the cheek, an ornament resembling a spiral earring. The base of the neck is decorated with two S-shaped volutes., Horse galloping or leaping to the right. In front of its chest, a bird standing. Above, as a charioteer, a boar to right. Below, a bow with an arrow nocked, with double fletching, pierces the horse's stomach. All around, raised pattern. The exergue line is dotted, below, a pattern of alternating horizontal and vertical chevrons imitating the Greek legend “ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ.”, An attractive example, on a particularly wide blank: the simulated legend is completely visible, which is rarely seen on the few known examples. A very rare coin, in good condition and featuring all known iconographic elements.
