These silver issues are commonly called "Bucranium" coins because of the presence of the antelope's head on the reverse. The word "Bucranium" comes from ancient Greek. It was a form of carved ox-skull decoration commonly used in Classical architecture. The name is generally considered to originate with the practice of displaying garlanded, sacrificial oxen, whose heads were displayed on the walls of temples.
