Obverse: A nude ephebe, holding a palm branch bound with a ribbon-like fillet, rides on a horse rearing to the right; ground line. Beneath the horse: ARICTIPP[OC]. Reverse: Taras, crowned with a wreath, astride dolphin swimming to the left, with his left hand resting on dolphin's back, and holding a kantharos with his outstretched right hand. Below the dolphin, TARAS is inscribed and a monogram is above the dolphin's tail.
