| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros enthroned to the left, wearing helmet and aegis, her right hand extending a winged Nike who crowns the royal legend above; her left arm rests upon a large round shield decorated with a central boss, and a long transverse spear leans against her left shoulder behind. In the inner left field, a kerykeion (herald's staff) is placed with its handle directed toward the inner left. To the outer right, the monogram EY serves as a mint or magistrate control mark. The two-line Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ ('of King Lysimachus') fills the right field, framed by the composition. |
