The image shows two ancient silver coins side by side on a light blue background. The coin on the left features a nude male warrior riding a horse. The man has short hair and holds a spear in his right hand, raised above his head. He sits on a horse that is walking to the right, its front left leg raised. The horse has a long tail and a bridle. The coin on the right depicts a nude male figure running to the right. He holds an object in his right hand raised above his head and an unidentified object in his left hand by his side. The background of this coin shows unclear designs. Both coins have a worn, aged appearance with visible signs of wear and tear. The coins are oval-shaped.
