| Obverse description | Bull standing to left in the field, the Cypriot syllabic character 'pa' incised on its flank, a winged solar disk depicted above the animal's back, and an ankh symbol positioned to the lower left. The Cypriot syllabic inscription 'pa-si-le' (abbreviation for 'basileos', meaning 'of the king') appears in the field, associating the issue with royal authority. The rendering is archaic in style, with bold, compact modelling characteristic of fifth-century Cypriot coinage. |
