| Obverse description | Horned head of a bull facing left in high relief, rendered in confident Hellenistic style, with a pronounced muzzle, a small horn curving forward above the ear, and a decorative bridle or collar about the neck. The portrait fills the flan generously, with the neck truncation visible at the lower right. A dotted border frames the design, characteristic of early Seleucid coinage from Antioch. The field is plain and unlettered, the entire composition emphasizing the powerful, naturalistic modeling of the animal's head. |
