Siglos - Onasioikos

Beschrijving voorzijde	Bull standing to right on a ground line, rendered in archaic Cypriot style with careful musculature and a mane indicated by incised lines at the neck. A crescent symbol appears above in the upper field. Cypriot syllabic inscription reading 'pa-si-le' (basileus, king) is placed in the upper field, with the syllable 'pa' on the flank of the bull. The overall composition is bold and vigorous, typical of mid-fifth century BC Paphian coinage.
