| Obverse description | A cow stands to right, head turned back to left to observe a suckling calf beneath her. An eagle is depicted above the cow's back, and the magistrate's name ΞΕΝΩΝ (Xenon) appears in the field above. A hound runs to the right in the lower exergual area. The composition follows the canonical Dyrrachion drachm type, rendered in the typical archaic-to-Hellenistic hammered style with bold, deeply struck relief. |
