| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros seated left on a throne, wearing a crested helmet and aegis, her right hand extending forward to present a small winged Nike who crowns the royal name, her left arm resting on a large round shield decorated with a lion's head device. A spear leans against her left shoulder. The circular legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ runs around the field, with the Byzantion civic monogram ΒΥ appearing in the left field below Nike, serving as the mint identifier. A second control mark appears in the lower field. The composition closely follows the canonical reverse type established by Lysimachus for his lifetime coinage, here reproduced posthumously by Byzantion as civic or quasi-civic issues. |
