| Reverse description | Bull standing left in profile, rendered in fine Classical style with careful anatomical detail; the animal's head is turned frontally to face the viewer, a distinctive convention found consistently on Parian coinage of this period. The ethnic legend ΠΑ-ΡΙ is divided across the upper field, with ΠΑ to the left and ΡΙ to the right of the bull's horns. A small symbol or pellet group is visible beneath the bull in the lower field. The composition fills the flan confidently, with the exergual line implied by the groundline on which the bull stands. |
