| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Zeus facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style with wavy hair swept back from the brow and a full beard indicated in low relief. A thunderbolt symbol is depicted in the field before the face, serving as an iconographic attribute of the deity. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, with the facial features showing moderate detail despite the characteristic flat striking of late Hellenistic Cretan bronze coinage. The irregular flan edge is typical of the hand-hammered production of this series. |

Cnossus maintained its mint through the chaotic decades following Rome's annexation of Crete in 67 BC, issuing bronze coinage under local magistrates whose names — including ΤΑΥΡΙΑΔΑΣ — appear as the controlling authority. The city's status as a Roman colony, formally established as Colonia Iulia Nobilis Cnossus likely under Augustus, makes the precise dating of late republican-era bronzes from this mint genuinely contested; some scholars place magistrate issues like this one in the colonial transition period rather than firmly within the pre-colonial civic series.
