| Beschrijving voorzijde | Nike, depicted in dynamic three-quarter facing pose with outstretched wings, stands atop the prow of a warship (aphlaston visible at stern), sounding a long war trumpet (salpinx) held in her right hand. The figure is rendered in high relief with considerable sculptural detail, her drapery billowing in the wind. The composition is set within a dotted border, the ship's ram and oar-box visible below, emphasizing the naval victories of Demetrius Poliorcetes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Demetrius I Poliorcetes seized Macedonia in 294 BC after murdering Alexander V, one of two sons of Cassander whose brief reigns had fragmented Macedonian authority. His control of Amphipolis — a strategically vital city on the Strymon River long prized for its access to Thracian silver — made it a natural mint site for his royal coinage. The tenure was short. By 288 BC, a coordinated invasion by Lysimachus and Pyrrhus had stripped him of the kingdom entirely, leaving this two-year Amphipolitan output as the primary documentation of his Macedonian rule in silver.
