背面描述	Forepart of a bull advancing to the right, with lowered head and prominent horns rendered in a compact, stylized manner characteristic of small-denomination Greek coinage. The body is depicted in three-quarter view, with musculature suggested by bold, simplified modeling. The abbreviated ethnic inscription IΣT appears to the right of the bull in the field, identifying the issuing city of Histiaea.

附加信息	Histiaea, the northern Euboean city resettled by Athens after the brutal expulsion of its population around 446 BC — punishment for killing Athenian cleruchs — eventually recovered enough autonomy to strike its own coinage. These tiny silver obols represent that independent civic output, likely produced over a long span rather than in discrete authorised issues, which explains the considerable variation in fabric and die quality found across surviving examples.
