| Reverse description | A bull butting right, depicted in a dynamic charging posture with lowered head and forelegs thrust forward, occupying the central field. Above the bull, a frontal bull skull is prominently displayed as a secondary device, a distinctive iconographic element of this Massalian series. A partial Greek legend appears below the bull along the lower exergual line, though heavy patination and flan irregularities render full legibility difficult on this specimen. |
