| Reverse description | Nike (Victory) standing facing left, her large feathered wings spread dramatically behind her, clad in a diaphanous chiton that reveals her figure. She holds a wreath in her extended left hand and a palm branch or stylis in her right, rendered in fine high relief. Below her feet appears a nautical prow or wave motif, alluding to naval victory. A floral or branch symbol occupies the lower left field as a control mark. The royal legend BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the right and ΠΥΡΡΟΥ to the left frames the central figure, reading 'of King Pyrrhus,' within a border of raised dots. |
