| Obverse description | Nike, depicted in flight with outspread wings, stands atop the prow of a warship (aphlaston visible at right), facing left and raising a trumpet to her lips with her right hand. The galley prow is rendered in fine detail with a ram and oar-ports visible. The composition is characteristic of the Demetrian coinage celebrating his naval victory at Salamis in Cyprus. The figure is executed in the Hellenistic style with flowing drapery and dynamic movement. |
