Tetradrachm: Quadriga, Nike (obverse)
The coin is circular and made of dark metal, likely silver or copper, with a rough texture and visible wear. The obverse side features a quadriga, a four-horse chariot, with the horses depicted in profile facing right. The charioteer is standing in the center, holding reins in both hands. The horses are shown in a dynamic pose, with one horse's front leg raised. Nike, the goddess of victory, is not visible on this side; however, the title "Tetradrachm" suggests a Greek coin. The background of the coin is plain, with no additional details or inscriptions visible. The coin has a slight sheen, indicating some level of preservation or polishing. The edges of the coin are rough and uneven, with visible ridges and imperfections. The overall appearance suggests an ancient Greek coin.
