| Reverse description | A bull charging and butting to the left, rendered in compact relief with lowered head and muscular body, standing above a ground line. The ethnic legend ΤΥΡΑ appears in Greek characters above the bull's back, identifying the issuing city of Tyra on the northern Black Sea coast. The composition follows a standard type known from Pontic colonial bronzes of the early third century BC, with the animal depicted in a dynamic posture conveying strength. |
