| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, stands facing left in a graceful contrapposto pose. She extends her right hand forward, presenting a victor's wreath, while her left hand holds a stylis (ship's mast ornament), an allusion to naval prowess. A horned horse head appears to the right, resting upon her right wing, serving as an additional dynastic or mint symbol. The field inscription ΔΙ appears in Greek characters, likely a mint or magistrate abbreviation. The composition is characteristic of early Seleucid royal coinage derived from Alexandrine prototypes. |
