| Reverse description | Bull standing to left in high relief, head lowered and turned to face the viewer in a frontal pose, with prominent horns and naturalistic musculature rendered in the late Classical style. Two pellets or small ornamental marks appear in the lower field beneath the animal. The ethnic legend ΦAIΣTIΩN is inscribed in Greek characters along the upper border of the coin, identifying the issuing city of Phaistos. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck Cretan coinage of the period. |
