| Reverse description | Bull's head facing full-front within a shallow incuse square, rendered with considerable detail including prominent curved horns, large ears to either side, and a centrally placed muzzle. To the left of the bull's head, the ethnic abbreviation ΧΕΡ is inscribed vertically in archaic Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Chersonesos. The incuse square border is clearly defined, a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage technique. |
