| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, advances to the left across the field, her large, detailed wings spread upward and behind her. She holds a victor's wreath extended in both hands before her, while a palm branch rests over her left shoulder, symbols of triumph and military success. In the left field, the regnal year date appears as L Α (Year 1, corresponding to 244 AD), a standard feature of Alexandrian coinage used to date issues within the emperor's reign. The figure is rendered with fine detail in the feathering of the wings, consistent with the artistic conventions of the Alexandrian mint. |
