| Reverse description | A bull in vigorous charging stance to the left, depicted with musculature rendered in confident relief, its head lowered and tail curled upward. Above the bull's back appears the Greek letter Μ (mu), serving as a control or denomination mark, accompanied by a Heraklean club above — a symbol closely associated with Syracusan coinage of the period. The letters ΙΕ appear in the exergue below the ground line, functioning as an additional magistrate or control mark. A plain ground line separates the bull from the exergual inscription. |
