| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, depicted striding to the left with wings spread, her right arm extended forward presenting a wreath. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic style with flowing drapery, and is flanked on either side by a vertical Greek inscription reading downward. The composition reflects the strong Seleucid artistic influence characteristic of the Characene kingdom coinage. |
