| Reverse description | Nike, depicted as a winged female figure, drives a biga (two-horse chariot) at full gallop to the right; she is shown in dynamic three-quarter view, her drapery billowing behind her as she leans forward holding the reins. In the lower field beneath the horses, a palm branch is visible. The ethnic legend BPETTIΩN appears in the exergue in Greek characters, identifying the issuing authority of the Brettii. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with the Hellenistic coinage tradition of southern Italy. |
