| Reverse description | Nike (possibly Nemesis) advancing left with both arms outstretched, holding a wreath in the right hand and a small rod or palm branch in the left, rendered in the dynamic Hellenistic style typical of Ephesian civic coinage. The figure strides purposefully across the field, her drapery indicated in flowing lines. The reverse legend, distributed around the periphery, proclaims the city's prestigious title of four-time neocorate, reflecting Ephesus's exceptional status as a centre of the imperial cult. The overall fabric is heavily corroded, with considerable surface encrustation obscuring fine detail. |
