| Aversbeschreibung | Europa seated half-right within the branches of a plane tree, her body rendered in high relief with flowing drapery gathered at the waist. The figure is depicted in a relaxed, contemplative posture, her head turned slightly downward. The stylized trunk and branches of the tree frame the composition on either side, rendered with bold, naturalistic strokes characteristic of Cretan die-cutting of the late Classical period. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A bull advancing to the right in a powerful, naturalistic stance, its head turned back to the left (reverted), rendered in high relief with careful anatomical detail including musculature and a richly textured mane. The animal's body fills the flan, with the raised foreleg conveying a sense of vigorous movement. A leafy branch or plant element appears before the bull in the right field. The composition is set on a plain exergual line, with no legend, consistent with the aniconic coinage tradition of Gortyna in the late Classical period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Gortyna was one of the dominant poleis of central Crete, and its coinage from this period reflects the city's independence during a stretch when much of the Greek world was being reorganized under Macedonian pressure. Unlike many Aegean mints that shifted output or iconography in response to Alexander's campaigns, Gortyna maintained its own striking traditions without interruption through the late fourth and into the early third century.
Svoronos's classification of this type remains the standard reference, though die studies have since identified a broader spread of obverse dies than his original grouping suggested.
