| Reverse description | A serpent coiled around a tall tripod cauldron, the standard Apolline cult symbol associated with the oracular sanctuary at Nicopolis. The tripod is depicted frontally at the centre of the field, with the serpent entwining its base and body in multiple coils, referencing the oracular and religious prestige of the city. A Greek legend in the field identifies the issuing authority. The reverse type is characteristic of the civic bronze coinage struck at Nicopolis during the reign of Philip I. |
