| Reverse description | A modius (grain basket) or cista mystica depicted frontally, rendered as a tall cylindrical vessel with a domed, fruit-laden top overflowing with grapes and other produce, symbolizing abundance and fertility. The vessel rests on a base and is shown in a formal, symmetrical composition typical of provincial civic coinage. The Greek legend of the issuing city runs around the periphery within a dotted border. The reverse type reflects the civic pride and agricultural prosperity of Nicopolis ad Istrum. |
