| Reverse description | A man-headed bull strides to the right, the human head turned to face the viewer, a compositional type emblematic of Neapolitan civic coinage. A winged Victory flies above to the right, descending to crown the bull with a wreath. Below the bull appear the abbreviated Greek legends YOIX and OYIΛ, likely representing magistrates' names, while the ethnic NEOΠOΛITΩN is inscribed in the exergue, identifying the issuing city. The overall design is rendered with confident die-cutting in the Hellenistic tradition. |
