| Reverse description | A bull standing to the right in profile, depicted with sturdy proportions and boldly rendered musculature in a style typical of Thracian Odrysian coinage. The animal occupies the central field, with a fish or dolphin depicted below, likely serving as a symbol of local identity or a mint mark. The Greek ethnic legend ΟΔΡΟΕΩΝ curves around the upper field, identifying the issuing community of the Odrysians. |
