<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 432460, member: 4920&quot;]I beg to strongly disagree. You&#039;ve evidently never seen a horse run, nor photos of a horse running. Or, if you have, you never paid any attention to the leg positions. Simply put, the inaccuracy depicted in these two coins is reflected throughout art before the discovery of still photography, and it&#039;s actually quite common. You see this inaccuracy all the time...the two sets of legs moving in tandem...the front pair moving forward while the hind pair is moving backwards. Both of these horses would fall flat on their face once those front legs hit the ground with the legs so positioned and their momentum thrusting them forward. Certainly a horse can rear on its hind legs, as depicted in your Singapore coin. That&#039;s quite different, however, than in these two coins. These two coins inaccurately depict these charging horses hopping like bunnies...and, the Greek coin (not shown, here), centuries earlier, had the movement of the legs (whether walking <i>or </i>running) correct. And I just think that&#039;s interesting from a trivia standpoint, and that&#039;s why I pointed it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
