| Reverse description | A draped female figure, identified as Nike or a deity, seated in three-quarter view atop a prancing horse moving to the right, holding a large round shield in her left hand decorated with a central boss. The figure's robes flow gracefully behind her, and her hair is adorned. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ is inscribed in the upper field, with ΠΥΡΡΟΥ in the lower exergual area, together reading 'of King Pyrrhus.' The composition is vigorous and dynamic, executed in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of South Italian mint production. |
