| Obverse description | Bull standing left with head lowered in a characteristic Sicilian type, a single pellet serving as the mark of value placed in the exergue below. The ethnic legend ΓΕΛΑΣ appears in the field above the bull, rendered in archaic Greek characters. The overall style reflects the compact, boldly modeled animal types characteristic of Geloan bronze coinage of the late fifth century BC. |
