| Reverse description | Within a shallow incuse square, a stylized grape bunch hangs from a short vine, depicted as a cluster of pellets with a tendril above. The incuse square is characteristic of archaic Greek coinage technique and frames the vegetal device as the city's principal emblem, alluding to Nymphaeum's viticultural identity. The abbreviated ethnic legend NYN appears in the field, rendered in archaic Greek capitals. |
