| Obverse description | Facing forepart of two bulls or bovine protomes displayed side by side, their heads rendered frontally in high relief with prominent horns, ears, and muzzles clearly delineated. The composition occupies the full flan in characteristic Lycian archaic style, with the animals' chests and forelegs visible below the necks. The surfaces show the bold, somewhat schematic modelling typical of fifth-century Lycian coinage. The irregular flan edges reflect hand-hammered production. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |
