Reverse description Standing figure of Nike facing left, draped in a long chiton and himation, advancing with outstretched arms toward a large oval shield set upright on the ground. The goddess leans slightly forward as she crowns or adorns the shield, her garments rendered in flowing parallel folds. The legend ΛOΥΚΑΝOM is inscribed in Old Italic script along the left field. The composition is characteristic of Lucanian civic bronze coinage, reflecting Hellenistic artistic influence in Magna Graecia.
