Reverse description A bull stands in profile to the right atop a ground line, its head turned to face the viewer in a frontal pose, symbolizing Julian's pagan religious revival and possible allusion to the Mithraic bull. Two six-pointed stars are placed in the upper field, one to each side of the animal, flanking it symmetrically. The Latin legend SECVRITAS REI PVB encircles the design, while the exergue carries the Cyzicus mint mark CVZB, identifying this specimen as the product of the second officina. The reverse composition reflects the bold, propagandistic style of Julian's coinage, deliberately evoking classical Roman religious imagery.
