| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a wreath, a large alpha (Α) with a distinctive curved crossbar, likely serving as a civic monogram or denomination mark, accompanied by a partially legible inscription tentatively reading Α ΝΙΚΟΠΟΛΕωϹ. The wreath is rendered in a simplified provincial style, with the tied base visible at the lower field. The overall composition is consistent with the civic coinage conventions of Nicopolis ad Actium during the Antonine period, where abbreviated civic legends and monograms are commonly employed. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicopolis in Achaea — founded by Augustus to commemorate his victory at Actium in 31 BC — maintained the right to strike small bronze issues under the Antonines, though the series is poorly documented and die links across specimens are rarely established. The curved-crossbar alpha in the ethnic abbreviation is an orthographic quirk noted on a handful of Nicopolitan bronzes and has occasionally complicated attribution, with some pieces historically misassigned to Nicopolis ad Istrum in Moesia before closer study of the letterforms.
