| Reverse description | A sacrificial bull charging and butting to the right, depicted with vigorous musculature and lowered head, conveying forceful movement across the field. The Greek letter Xi (Ξ) appears in the exergue below the groundline, serving as a mint or workshop control mark. The royal legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΣEΛEYKOY, reading 'of King Seleukos,' is disposed around the bull in the field. The overall composition is typical of early Seleucid bronze issues struck at Antioch on the Orontes. |
