| Reverse description | An agonistic prize table depicted frontally, supported on a characteristic Y-shaped or sigma-shaped trestle base, upon which rest three laurel-wreath prize crowns; the central crown surmounted by a pyramid of six apples or balls, symbolising the prize of victory, while the two flanking crowns each bear a tall palm branch emerging upward. This reverse type celebrates the three great sacred games held at Nicaea — the Pythia, the Severeia, and the Augousteia — reflecting the city's civic pride in its festival culture. The Greek legend is distributed in the field around the design. |
