Half Drachm, 550-421 BC. Greece, Phocis, 6th-5th century BC. Silver; diameter: 1.4 cm (9/16 in.). The head of a bull, its characteristic star-like fur and bulbous eyes particularly noticeable, dominates the obverse of this coin. On the reverse is Artemis, whose hair is curled back in the krobylos style using a hairnet. The unusual lines above Artemiss nose and below her chin suggest that the reverse may have been struck with the same design twice.
