| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull standing or charging to the right, rendered in a compact Hellenistic style typical of island bronze coinage; the animal's musculature is summarily indicated. Above or around the bull, traces of the ethnic legend are partially visible. The overall composition is set within a plain field on an irregular bronze flan with natural patination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Arkesine was one of three ancient cities on the island of Amorgos in the Cyclades, alongside Minoa and Aegiale. The city's bronze coinage is scarce in any form — Amorgos sat at the periphery of major Aegean trade routes, and local bronze issues rarely traveled far, which paradoxically can mean survivors show surprisingly light wear.
Weber 4617 places this piece within a well-documented private collection dispersed in the early twentieth century, providing at least a traceable provenance anchor for an otherwise poorly-documented civic issue.
