| Reverse description | A robust bull strides to the left across a plain exergual line, its musculature rendered with accomplished naturalistic detail typical of Thourian coinage. A bird, likely a heron or egret, stands between the bull's forelegs, a common device on this series. In the lower left field, below the exergual line, a tunny fish is depicted swimming to the left, referencing the city's maritime character. The ethnic legend ΘΟΥΡΙΩΝ arcs across the upper field above the bull, identifying the issuing city of Thourioi in Lucania. |
