| Reverse description | A powerful bull charging to the right in full butting posture, its head lowered and forelegs braced, rendered with naturalistic musculature in high relief. The animal stands upon a wavy exergual line suggestive of undulating ground. The ethnic legend ΦAIΣTIΩN is inscribed in archaic Greek characters across the upper field, identifying the issuing city of Phaistos. The style reflects the accomplished engraving tradition of late Classical Cretan mints. |
