| Reverse description | A bull charging or butting to the right, rendered in profile with muscular, naturalistic detail typical of early Seleucid bronze coinage. The KA monogram, likely a mint or magistrate control mark, appears prominently between the hind legs of the bull. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΣΕΛΕΥΚΟΥ ('of King Seleukos') is disposed in two lines, above and below the bull, reading across the field. The overall composition follows the standard type attributed to the Sardes or early Syrian mint under Seleukos I Nikator. |
