| Obverse description | A cow stands in profile to the right upon a ground line, its head turned back to regard a suckling calf positioned beneath it to the left, rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic style. The calf is depicted nursing, its body facing left beneath the dam. Above the bovine group, the magistrate's name is inscribed in two lines in Greek characters within a dotted border that arcs across the upper field. The composition is a hallmark type of the Dyrrachion mint, emphasizing the city's agricultural and pastoral identity. |
