| Reverse description | A bull standing to the right in the field, depicted in profile with careful attention to musculature. Above the back of the bull, a Greek inscription in two characters is visible, likely an abbreviated ethnic or magistrate's mark referencing the island of Syros. The composition is set within a plain circular border, typical of Cycladic civic bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period. |
