| Obverse description | A cow stands to right in profile, head turned back to regard a suckling calf positioned below to left in a nursing pose, conveying a pastoral scene of maternal care. The composition is rendered in the archaic Illyrian style with compact, stylized figural forms typical of Dyrrachion coinage. A thyrsos appears in the exergue beneath the central group. The magistrate's name EYNOYΣ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing official. The overall design occupies a broad, slightly irregular flan characteristic of hammered silver coinage of this series. |
