| Reverse description | Bull standing right in a sturdy, naturalistic pose, rendered with well-defined musculature and a slightly lowered head. The animal's four legs are clearly delineated, with the tail raised along the haunches. Above the bull's back, the partial city ethnic ΠΑ (abbreviation for Parion) appears in Greek characters in the upper field. The composition is typical of Parionian bronze coinage of the late Classical period, referencing the city's close association with cattle imagery. |
