背面描述	Facing bucranium (bull's head en face) rendered in bold relief within a recessed incuse square, the horns extending to the upper corners of the square. The large, almond-shaped eyes are prominently detailed on either side of the broad muzzle, and the nostrils and dewlap are visible below. The Greek ethnic inscription XEP appears to the left of the bull's head within the incuse field, identifying the issuing city of Chersonesos. The incuse technique is consistent with early Greek coinage practice of the Archaic period.

附加信息	Chersonesos in Caria was one of several small Aegean minting authorities active in the late sixth century BC, producing coinage during a period when Greek city-states along the Anatolian coast were navigating the expanding pressure of Achaemenid Persian dominance following Cyrus's conquest of Lydia in 547 BC. Whether this issue predates or falls within the early years of Persian tributary control over the region remains debated. The hemidrachm fractions from this series are better documented than the drachms; full drachm survivals referencing BMC Greek #2 are notably scarce in major collections.
