Sorry for the time lag. My phone wasn't being cooperative and my photo edit/posting got held-up. Apologies to Montcollector & Pickin and Grinin.

Next theme is one dollar.

Next: some kind of chariot/biga/something similar--some kind of horse drawn vehicle with one, two, four (or whatever) number of horses.

 

Bonus points for the "creative" reply

 

A biga is drawn by two animals. A quadriga is drawn by four animals. This coin depicts a biga of mules:


SICILY, Messana
AR Tetradrachm
480-461 BC
17.21 grams, 25 mm.
Obv: Biga of mules (an apene) driven right by seated charioteer. Nike above crowning mules.
Rev: Hare bounding to right with spray of olive beneath. MEΣΣA.ИIOИ. (retrograde Ns).

I understand that Anaxilas won the mule-biga race at the very FIRST Olympic games of 484 or 480. This event is commemorated on the obverse of this tetradrachm.

You guessed it. The next theme is Olympics.
