| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros, goddess of victory, enthroned to the left upon an ornate throne, her left arm resting upon a large round shield decorated with a gorgoneion, while a long transverse spear rises diagonally behind her into the field. In her extended right hand she holds a Nike (winged Victory). The principal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ (of King Lysimachus) runs along the right field, with the civic mintmark BY (for Byzantion) appearing below the throne. An ornate trident, the civic symbol of Byzantion, occupies the exergue, and a monogram control mark appears in the inner left field. |
