| Obverse description | Draped bust of Nike facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing hair swept back beneath a wing rising prominently above the head. The goddess is depicted with characteristic drapery at the shoulder and breast, with a long palm frond extending diagonally over the left shoulder into the field. The portrait is modelled in high relief with attention to facial detail, presenting a refined profile typical of Phrygian civic bronze coinage of the late Hellenistic period. No legend appears on the obverse. |
