| Reverse description | A bull advancing to the right in sturdy, naturalistic relief, its head slightly lowered and horns prominent, rendered in a style consistent with other Obulco bronze issues of the period. Above the bull, within a double linear frame, the Latin legend OBVLCO is inscribed in retrograde or standard characters, serving as the civic ethnic of the issuing mint. A pellet or globule device appears in the lower field, likely serving as a value mark denoting the semis denomination. The border is formed by a row of dots following the coin's circumference, visible on the upper portion of the flan. The composition is well-centered on this side, displaying the characteristic workmanship of the Obulco municipal mint during the mid-Republican period. |
