| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of Victory, stands facing left in a graceful contrapposto pose, her wings spread behind her. In her extended right hand she holds a wreath, and in her left hand she carries a stylis (ship's sternpost ornament), referencing Macedonian naval prowess. To the left field, a thunderbolt symbol is placed as a mint control mark. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, reading 'of Alexander,' attributing the issue to Alexander III. The composition is characteristic of the authoritative Amphipolis mint type catalogued under Price 163. |
