Reverse description Man-headed bull striding right, the human head depicted in profile with characteristic Italic artistic style representing the river god Achelous or a local deity. A dolphin swims rightward above the bull's back, serving as a control symbol and allusion to Neapolis's maritime identity. A partial Greek legend appears to the left of the design in the field.
