Reverse description Bull standing left in profile, rendered with muscular naturalism; the animal's head is turned back to face the viewer in a three-quarter frontal pose, with horns and detailed facial features visible. A six-pointed star or floral rosette appears beneath the bull in the lower field. The civic ethnic inscription ΠΑ ΡΙ (for ΠΑΡΙΟΝ) is divided and placed in the upper field flanking the bull's back, with the letters Π–Α to the left and Ρ–Ι to the right, all within an unbordered circular field characteristic of hammered Propontine issues.
