| Obverse description | A bull strides to the left along a striated ground line, his head turned back to face right, rendered in the archaic South Italian incuse style. The bovine figure is depicted with careful anatomical attention, conveying movement and vitality characteristic of Lucanian mint production. A border of dots encircles the design within the coin field. The legend ΣΙΡΙΝ ΟΣ appears in Greek characters, identifying the city of Siris as one of the issuing authorities. |
