I think the reverse should be turned 180 degrees. At first I was thinking about a bull, but maybe a she-wolf feeding twins ?

I don t like the she-wolf , I see two options hare- a Centaur or a rider hidden with the side and  horse s neck.
Emperor - maybe  Septimius S. ?

Thanks to sanhi , I missed because I was stubbornly looking for the hidden rider  :), but he is not in both descriptions.
On my coin , this triangle on the horse s mane still makes me Wonder ? - variety , or my omagination fails  ;)
