| Obverse description | Bull standing left in profile, rendered in archaic Cypriot style. Above the bull's back, a winged solar disk is depicted, reflecting strong Egyptian iconographic influence common to Cypriot coinage of this period. To the left of the bull, an ankh-like symbol occupies the field. In the exergue below the ground line, a palmette ornament serves as a decorative terminal element. |

The reverse lettering in the Cypriot syllabic script identifies the issuing authority. |
