| Obverse description | A cow stands to right, head turned back to regard a suckling calf positioned beneath her body facing left, conveying the characteristic Dyrrachion pastoral type. Above the cow's back appears a bust of Isis facing right. To the right of the group, a grain ear and a bunch of grapes occupy the field, emblematic of agricultural abundance. The magistrate's name ΠEΡIΓENHΣ appears as the legend, identifying the eponymous official responsible for the issue. The design is rendered in a bold, provincial Greek style characteristic of Illyrian coinage of this series. |
