| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, standing to the left in flowing drapery, extending a wreath in her right hand while cradling a stylis (ship's sternpost) in her left arm, her wings prominently spread. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ (genitive: 'of Alexander') runs vertically along the right field. To the upper left appears the forepart of a lion, a dynastic emblem of Lysimachus, above a HAP control monogram. Beneath Nike's left wing, in the lower left field, a secondary control symbol — either a bucranium or a cornucopiae — is placed. The composition follows the standard Alexandrine stater reverse type adopted by Lysimachus at his Sestos mint. |
