| Reverse description | A man-headed bull (river god) standing to the left, his human head bearded and turned facing the viewer in three-quarter view, with a powerful bovine body. A small winged Nike flies above, alighting upon the bull's back and crowning him with a wreath, her wings outstretched and drapery streaming behind her. The type is characteristic of Campanian coinage referencing the local river deity. The ethnic legend ΝΕΟΠΟΛΙΤΗΣ is inscribed in Greek characters along the exergual line below the bull. |
