Here's a commemorative medal from 1976, issued to mark the Bicentennial Wagon Train to Pennsylvania. It depicts a horse(s) on each side.
Excellent!

Close inspection reveals four horses pulling the stage coach on the obverse plus one being ridden on the reverse!

You are correct! I missed the rear back one, too.

I like coins with the Brandenburg Gate - I've always appreciated its symbolism.

Thanks for sharing!

FYI: The chariot being pulled by the four horses (the Quadriga on the top of the Gate) is being driven by Victoria - the Roman goddess of victory and is currently viewed as representative of "Peace and Unity" in Germany and Europe.

Trivia: The Quadriga seen today on the Gate is a replica that dates from 1958. The original was badly damaged/destroyed during World War II.
