| Reverse description | Nike, goddess of victory, depicted in flight to the left, wearing a long flowing chiton rendered with fine drapery. She holds a trophy in her raised left hand and extends a wreath toward the viewer in her outstretched right hand, symbolizing the victorious campaigns of Pyrrhus. A thunderbolt appears in the left field as a divine attribute. The legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΠYPPOY, meaning 'of King Pyrrhus', is inscribed in the field, affirming the royal authority under which this issue was struck. |
