The sculpture on this coin depicts a scene with a figure on horseback fighting another figure also on a horse. The detailed movement of the rider in battle is captured within the circular boundary of the coin, which includes inscriptions around the edge. The sculpture is bronze in color, suggesting it may be made of metal with a weathered texture. The lifelike details on the coin create a compelling composition of action and motion frozen in time.
