| Obverse description | Bull standing left in profile, head turned back to right, rendered in bold relief with well-defined musculature typical of the Parianic die-cutting tradition. The city ethnic ΠΑΡΙ is distributed around the bull in the field, with Π and Α visible above and Ρ and Ι flanking below. Beneath the bull, a scallop shell is depicted in the lower field, serving as a civic badge of Parion. The overall composition is compact and dynamic, characteristic of fourth-century BC Mysian coinage. |
