| Obverse description | Man-headed bull advancing to left on a ground line, with bearded human head turned back to right in the archaic Cypriot artistic tradition. The creature is rendered in profile with careful attention to musculature, reflecting the influence of both Greek and Near Eastern iconographic conventions. Beneath the bull, a single Cypriot syllabic sign appears in the field, identified as 'ku,' serving as the initial syllable of Kyprou (Cyprus) and functioning as a mint or royal identifier. |
