| Obverse description | Bull standing to left in the field, head turned back to right in a characteristic pose; the ethnic inscription ΠΑ ΡΙ (abbreviation for ΠΑΡΙΟΝ) is divided across the upper field. Beneath the bull's body, a razor with handle is depicted in the exergual area, serving as a secondary type. The bold, plastic rendering of the bovine figure reflects the strong die-cutting tradition of Parion in the fourth century BC. |
