| Reverse description | Bull's head facing right in three-quarter view, rendered with compact, stylized musculature typical of early fourth-century BC Lesbian bronze coinage. The ethnic inscription MY in Greek characters appears in the field, serving as the mint identifier for Mytilene. The design is contained within an irregular circular flan with a rough, uneven surface characteristic of hammered copper issues of this period. |
