背面描述	Nike, the goddess of victory, is depicted standing facing with wings fully spread, her head turned to the left in three-quarter profile. She holds a wreath extended before her with both hands, presented in a pose of solemn offering. The figure is rendered in the severe style characteristic of mid-fifth century BC Bruttian coinage, with carefully articulated drapery falling about her body. The composition is strikingly monumental for the small flan, reflecting the high artistic achievement of the Terina mint.

附加信息	Terina was a small Greek colony on the Tyrrhenian coast of Bruttium, founded by Croton around 480 BC. It produced coinage for only a few generations before being destroyed by the Bruttians in the late fourth century, which keeps the entire series tight in number. The city's issues are notable among students of early south Italian coinage for the exceptionally high quality of their engraving — a product of direct stylistic influence from Croton's own die-cutters, whose workshop traditions are visible in the fabric. HN Italy 2569 falls in the earliest phase of Terina's output, contemporary with Croton's own mid-fifth century florescence.
