| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bull's head rendered in high relief, with prominent curved horns, deeply modelled muzzle, and large circular eyes on either side. The musculature of the neck and forelock are carefully articulated, conveying a vigorous archaic style characteristic of early Phokian federal coinage. The head is centrally positioned within the irregular flan with no legend or border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Phokis adopted a federal coinage unusually early for a Greek regional league, issuing shared silver under collective authority rather than through any single dominant polis — a structure that made the coins politically awkward the moment any member city overreached. The period covered here brackets the aftermath of Thermopylae and Plataea, years in which Phokian communities were rebuilding both physically and politically after Persian forces had destroyed a number of their towns wholesale.
The BCD collection specimen catalogued at lot 205 passed through the Leu and Nomos sales before its attribution was refined.
