| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros seated left on a throne, wearing helmet and chiton, her left arm resting on a large round shield decorated with a gorgoneion. She extends her right hand forward to receive a small Nike, who stands on her palm with wings spread and holds a wreath. A long spear leans against her left shoulder. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the right and ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ to the left frames the central type; a monogram appears in the lower field. The composition follows the standard reverse type of Lysimachus tetradrachms. |
