| Obverse description | Bare head of Seleukos I Nikator facing right, depicted wearing a helmet covered in panther skin and adorned with a bull's ear and horn, emblematic of his divine association with the god Dionysos. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic style with fine detail to the facial features and headdress. The field is plain and without legend, consistent with early Seleucid coinage struck at eastern mints. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, advancing to the right in a striding pose, wearing a chiton and himation, her wings spread behind her. She extends her right arm to place a wreath upon a military trophy standing to the right, consisting of a cuirass and helmet mounted on a stake. The composition is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition and occupies the full field of the flan, with no visible exergual inscription or border legend. |
