| Reverse description | A man-headed bull — the personification of a river god — strides vigorously to the right, its powerful bovine body rendered in high relief with musculature carefully detailed. The bearded human head turns frontally, gazing outward from the flan. Above, the winged figure of Nike flies to the right, extending her arms to place a laurel wreath upon the bull's head in a gesture of civic triumph. The ethnic legend NEOΠOΛITΩN is inscribed along the lower exergual line in Greek characters, identifying the coin as an issue of the Neapolitans. A ground line separates the main device from the inscription below. |
