| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne, her right hand extending forward to hold a winged Nike who crowns the royal legend; her left arm rests upon a large round shield decorated with a lion's head boss. A long transverse spear rests behind the figure. The primary legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ ('of King Lysimachus') is disposed in two lines flanking the seated deity. A filleted bucranium appears to the outer left field, with a control monogram to the inner left. In the exergue, a tunny fish facing left serves as a mint symbol identifying the issue to Cyzicus. |
