| Reverse description | A zebu bull stands to the left with its head turned to face the viewer, rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic style with the distinctive humped back clearly articulated. The ethnic legend ANTIOXEΩN appears above the bull in the field. To the left, a turreted head of Tyche faces left, serving as a civic symbol of the city. In the exergue, the magistrate's name AΔPAΣTOΣ / ΠYΘEOY is inscribed in two lines, identifying the issuing authority as Adrastos son of Pytheos. The entire design is enclosed within a bold circular maeander border pattern. |
