This is a photograph of an ancient coin depicting a horse and rider. The coin has a circular shape with a beaded edge surrounding the central design. The raised image shows a horse in motion with one foreleg raised, the rider appears to be guiding the horse forward with an outstretched arm. The material of the coin gives it a weathered appearance, suggesting antiquity and possibly a bronze or copper composition. There is a small, circular hole on the left side of the coin. The surface of the coin is worn, with the raised design having softened edges from age and handling.
