| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros enthroned left upon an ornate throne, her right hand extended to present a figure of Nike, and her left hand grasping a spear. A large round shield rests against the back of the throne. The primary legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ runs in the fields. Below the throne, the civic monogram ΒΥ (identifying Byzantion as the issuing city) appears alongside an ornamental trident, the emblematic symbol of Byzantion. A secondary monogram combining ΠΒ appears to the left of the throne, likely denoting a magistrate or mint official. |
