| Reverse description | A tall cornucopia occupies the central field, its body laden with fruits and foliage rendered in characteristic provincial style. Seated atop the cornucopia, facing left, is a small infant figure identified as Dionysus (or possibly Pluto), alluding to the mythological associations of Nysa with the nurturing of the god Dionysus. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is distributed in the field, enclosed within a dotted border. |
