| Reverse description | A bull, depicted in a powerful butting pose, strides aggressively to the left with head lowered, rendered with muscular anatomical detail characteristic of Greek civic coinage of the period. The animal stands on a plain ground line. Above and below the bull, the civic legend of Herakleia is inscribed in two lines, identifying the issuing city. A small crab or other subsidiary symbol appears beneath the bull in the lower field, serving as an additional civic or magistrate's emblem. |
