| Reverse description | Zeus Nikephoros seated left on a throne with a high back, his semi-draped figure rendered in the classical Hellenistic style. In his outstretched right hand he holds a Nike (Victory) figurine bearing a wreath, and in his left hand a tall sceptre. A palm branch appears in the left field. The Greek royal titulature is inscribed in two vertical columns flanking the enthroned deity, with the regnal date ΓΞΡ (year 163 of the Seleucid Era, corresponding to 150 BC) visible in the exergue. A dotted border frames the reverse field. |
