| Reverse description | A zebu (humped bull) advancing aggressively to the left with head lowered in a butting posture, its prominent dorsal hump and musculature rendered with naturalistic vigor. Beneath the bull's body appears a meander pattern (labyrinthine symbol), a civic emblem of Magnesia. The Greek ethnic inscription is disposed around the type, reading ΝΙΣΑΙΟΣ above and ΜΑΓΝ below, identifying both the magistrate Nisaios and the issuing city of Magnesia. |
