| Reverse description | Incuse bull standing to the right on a ground line, rendered in sunken relief in the characteristic Achaean incuse technique, being the mirror intaglio counterpart of the obverse type. The bull is depicted with careful anatomical detail, its head turned slightly forward. Below the ground line, partial retrograde letters of the city ethnic are visible. The entire design is set within a plain incuse square with slightly rounded corners, framed by a raised border. The incuse treatment is a hallmark of the coinage of the Achaean colonies of Magna Graecia. |
