| Reverse description | Forepart of a man-headed bull striding to the right, a device emblematic of river-god imagery in Campanian coinage and closely associated with Neapolis. A four-rayed star appears on the bull's shoulder, serving as a control mark or secondary symbol. Above the figure, the ethnic legend ΝΕΟΠΟΛΙΤΗΣ is inscribed in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city. The composition is bold and well-centred, reflecting the accomplished die-cutting tradition of Neapolitan bronzes of this period. |
