| Reverse description | A powerfully modelled bull advancing to the right with head reverted, rendered in high relief with muscular anatomical detail. The animal's head is turned back sharply over its shoulder, a hallmark motif of Gortynian staters referencing the myth of Zeus as bull. Scattered floral or vegetal elements appear in the field, and a dotted border frames the composition. No inscription is present. |
