| Reverse description | A bull standing to the left in high relief, head turned back to face the viewer, with musculature rendered in a vigorous naturalistic style. The ethnic inscription ΠΑ ΡΙ (for ΠΑΡΙΩΝ, of the Parians) is distributed around the figure in the field — Π and Α in the upper field flanking the bull's hindquarters and horns, and Ρ (rho) beneath the body, serving as the civic abbreviation of the issuing city of Parion. The composition is compact and well-centered within the irregular flan, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of fourth-century Mysia. |
