| Reverse description | A charging bull depicted in dynamic right-facing profile, head lowered as if in full charge, rendered with vigorous musculature typical of the Thurian series. The legend ΘOYPIΩN arcs above the bull in the upper field, and the mintmaster's control letter Π appears beneath the bull's raised foreleg. A dotted exergual line separates the main type from the lower field, below which a fish or dolphin symbol appears in the exergue. The composition conveys powerful movement and exemplifies the high artistic quality of South Italian Greek coinage of the late Classical period. |
