| Reverse description | Standing figure of Nike, goddess of victory, draped in a long belted chiton and advancing to left with dynamic stride. Her outstretched right hand holds a taenia, a ribbon of victory, extended before her. The ethnic inscription KATANE in archaic Greek letters encircles the design in the field around the figure, serving as the sole legend. |
