| Reverse description | Naval battle scene depicting two war galleys engaged in combat upon the open sea, each vessel shown with banks of oars extended and rowers visible, the ships oriented diagonally across the field in dynamic composition. The type alludes to the famous naval victory of Augustus at the Battle of Actium (31 BC), near which Nicopolis was founded, serving as a proud local commemorative reference on civic coinage. The reverse field is largely uncluttered, allowing the engraved galleys to dominate the design. The city ethnic legend appears in the exergue or surrounding field. |
