| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros enthroned to the left, depicted in full panoply: her left elbow rests upon a large round shield set beside the throne, while her outstretched right hand presents a small figure of Nike. A kerykeion (caduceus), oriented with its handle to the right, appears in the left field. The ethnic legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ ('of King Lysimachos') is inscribed in the fields, the dynastic title asserting Lysimachos's claim to royal sovereignty. The composition follows the standard reverse type established by Lysimachos for his regal coinage. |
