| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne, clad in chiton and aegis, holding a small Nike in her extended right hand and resting her left arm upon a large round shield set against the throne's side. A transverse spear leans diagonally in the background. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ runs along the upper and right fields. A monogram appears in the inner left field, while the letters ΒΥ, denoting the Byzantion mint, are placed below the throne. An ornate trident symbol occupies the exergue, serving as the principal mint mark identifying this issue to Byzantion. |
