| Reverse description | A man-headed bull (the river god Acheloos or a local river deity) strides to the left, his muscular bovine body rendered with vigorous naturalism and his bearded human head turned frontally. Above, the winged figure of Nike flies right, leaning forward to crown the bull's head with a wreath held in both hands. The ethnic legend NEOΠΟΛΙΤHN curves around the upper field, identifying the issuing city. The composition is a hallmark of Neapolitan coinage and reflects the city's civic and religious iconographic tradition. |
