| Reverse description | A vigorous bull charging to the right in butting posture, forelegs extended and head lowered, rendered in high relief with naturalistic musculature typical of mid-fourth-century Cretan die-cutting. The animal is depicted on a plain exergual ground line, enclosed entirely within a circular olive wreath composed of large, carefully rendered leaves tied at the base, which forms the border of the reverse field. No legend or additional devices are present. |
