Comment
On the obvere, the end of the legend, OS is readable behind the neck.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols, with the bull and ear on one side and the Greek letters "ΔEIVICIACOS" on the other. This suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in a specific region or community, and that it may have held cultural or religious significance for the people who used it. Additionally, the fact that it is made of bronze and weighs 3.09g suggests that it may have been a widely used and practical form of currency for everyday transactions.
