| Reverse description | The reverse features a lion passant to the right attacking a bull, the bull shown collapsing beneath the lion's grip. The scene is rendered in a dynamic, detailed style characteristic of Cilician satrapal coinage of the fourth century BC, with fine engraving of the animals' musculature. The exergual line separates the main design from the lower field. |
