| Reverse description | Forepart of a bull advancing to the right, rendered with muscular detail; the animal's head is turned to face the viewer with prominent horns. The Greek magistrate's name ΛEONTIΣKOΣ is inscribed in the upper field above the bull's back. A small olive branch appears in the lower right field. The composition is characteristic of Samian Rhodian-standard coinage of the late fourth century BC, with the bull motif serving as the civic type of Samos. |
