Beschrijving voorzijde Facing bull's head rendered in bold archaic relief, depicted full-face with pronounced muzzle, wide-set nostrils, and large eyes flanked by short, curved horns. The musculature of the forehead and snout is rendered with careful attention to naturalistic detail characteristic of early fifth-century Euboean coinage. No inscription or legend appears in the field. The type served as the principal civic emblem of Eretria, referencing the city's agricultural prosperity and sacred associations with cattle.

Beschrijving keerzijde An octopus depicted with its mantle centered and eight tentacles radiating and curling outward, entirely contained within a shallow incuse square of archaic type. The tentacles are rendered schematically with visible sucker detail along their length. The incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek coinage technique, frames the device without additional legend or subsidiary marks. The octopus was a recurring symbol on Eretrian coinage, likely referencing the city's maritime activity and coastal identity.
