| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, is depicted as a charioteer driving a rapidly galloping triga (a three-horse chariot) to the right, rendered in a dynamic composition typical of Thessalian Koinon coinage of the imperial period. Nike is shown in a striding or lunging posture, holding the reins of the three horses as they surge forward at full gallop. The scene conveys speed and triumph, reflecting the prestige of the Thessalian games and their equestrian traditions. The reverse legend encircles the field, identifying the issuing authority and bearing the Γ (gamma) numeral denoting the third year or third issue of the series. The coin is heavily patinated, with green encrustation partially obscuring the legend and design. |
