| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros enthroned to the left, depicted in a dignified and stately pose characteristic of Hellenistic royal coinage. Her left arm rests upon a large round shield set at her side, while her extended right hand presents a winged Nike. A long diagonal spear is positioned behind her, leaning across the field. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ is disposed in the field to the right and left of the enthroned figure, identifying Lysimachus as king. A monogram appears in the inner left field and in the exergue, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark attributable to the Calchedon mint. |
