| Reverse description | Head of a young calf facing left, rendered in archaic Greek style with finely detailed features including a large eye, curling ear, and short muzzle. The retrograde Greek ethnic legend RECINON arches around the calf's head within a dotted border, identifying the issuing city of Rhegion. The composition reflects the civic iconography associated with the tyrant Anaxilas, who introduced mule-breeding to the region, making bovine imagery a recurring motif on Rhegian coinage of this period. |
