| Reverse description | Zeus Nikephoros enthroned left upon a high-backed throne, his outstretched right hand presenting Nike, and his left hand resting upon a tall sceptre. The composition follows the canonical Seleucid reverse type derived ultimately from the Zeus imagery of Alexander the Great's coinage. A monogram appears in the outer left field, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark. The Greek royal legend encircles the seated deity, naming both co-rulers. |
