| Reverse description | Nike, winged goddess of victory, depicted in dynamic right-to-left motion as she drives a galloping biga (two-horse chariot). She holds a kentron (goad) in her extended right hand and gathers the reins in her left, her drapery billowing behind her. A trident head, civic emblem of Carystus referencing its maritime identity, appears within a wreath in the field between Nike and the horses. The ethnic legend KAPYΣTIΩN is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city. |
