| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne, holding a Nike in her extended right hand and resting her left arm upon a large grounded shield; a spear leans against her left shoulder. The field to the left bears the vertical legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ, while the ethnic ΒΥ for Byzantion appears in the lower left field. A chi (X) mintmark is placed in the left field below the throne. The composition follows the canonical Lysimachean reverse type faithfully reproduced by Byzantion in its posthumous civic coinage. |
