| Reverse description | A bull standing to the right, its head lowered in a charging posture, rendered with boldly modelled musculature typical of Hellenistic civic coinage. Beneath the bull, an anchor is depicted, serving as the civic badge of Bargylia and a reference to the city's maritime identity. The ethnic legend ΒΑΡΓΥ / ΛΙΗΤΩΝ is arranged in two lines in the field to the left and right of the bull, in Greek script. The whole design is contained within a beaded border. The composition follows the standard reverse type of Bargylia's silver coinage of this period. |
