Reverse description	Nike, the goddess of victory, advancing to the right in dynamic stride, her drapery billowing behind her; she holds a wreath in her extended right hand and a long palm branch in her left. A crescent symbol is placed in the right field, serving as a civic emblem of Thessalonica. The ethnic legend ΘΕϹϹΑΛΟΝΙΚΕωΝ is inscribed around the periphery, identifying the issuing city. The coin bears a small test hole at centre, consistent with ancient authentication practice.
