| Obverse description | A cow stands to right in profile, her head turned back to regard a suckling calf positioned below to left — a composition emblematic of the Dyrrachium series. The figures are rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic Hellenistic style with strong relief. The magistrate's name ΦIΛΩTAΣ appears as the obverse legend, serving as the controlling magistrate's identification. A thyrsos occupies the exergue beneath the group, a distinctive symbol associated with this emission. |
