Collection Online as of September 16, 2026

A circular gold coin features a stylized horse in raised relief leaping to our left. The animal has a thick, arched neck and thin, segmented legs. Positioned beneath the torso is a small wheel with cross-shaped spokes. A curved border of raised, bead-like bumps lines the top right, while capital letters edge the bottom curve. The muted gold surface has a granular, uneven texture and simplified, low-relief details.
