背面描述	A bull butting right with head turned to face the viewer, rendered in the vigorous style typical of Thourian stater coinage. Above the bull, Nike flies to the right, extending a wreath to crown the animal, a composition celebrating civic and athletic triumph. The ethnic legend ΘΟΥΡΙΩΝ arcs around the field, identifying the issuing city of Thourioi. The exergue is plain. The overall design continues the long-established iconographic tradition of the city's silver coinage, which drew on Sybaris-era bull types.

附加信息	Thourioi, the Athenian-backed colony founded in 444/3 BC on the site of destroyed Sybaris, maintained a remarkably consistent coinage tradition for over a century before Italic pressure — first Lucanian, then Bruttian — began fragmenting its political independence. By the late fourth century the city's autonomy was increasingly nominal, and issues from this terminal period reflect a mint operating under mounting external constraint. The Hunterian 29 variety designation signals a die or type divergence from the principal series, though the specific point of departure is not always catalogued with precision.
