| Reverse description | A bull's head facing to left is depicted in three-quarter profile within a shallow incuse square, the standard reverse format for fractional silver coinage of Abdera. The head is rendered with naturalistic detail, including delineated horns, a bearded muzzle, and textured neck hair indicated by fine engraved lines. The Greek magistrate's name legend ΠΡΩΤ-ΗΣ (Protes) is disposed in two segments flanking the design within the incuse square, identifying the civic magistrate responsible for the issue. The incuse technique, characteristic of northern Aegean minting practice, creates a bold recessed field that frames the design effectively. |
