| Reverse description | A galley proceeding to the right, depicted with a row of oarsmen visible along the hull and a steering oar at the stern, referencing the naval victory of Augustus at the Battle of Actium that led to the founding of Nicopolis. The vessel is rendered in a summary provincial style, with wavy lines below suggesting the sea. The Greek civic legend ΙΕΡΑϹ ΝΕΙΚΟΠΟΛΕΩϹ ('Of Sacred Nicopolis') runs around the periphery of the flan, affirming the civic pride and sacred status of the issuing city. |
