| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros seated left on a throne, wearing a crested Attic helmet and draped in a chiton and himation. She extends her right hand forward to receive a small Nike (winged Victory) who crowns her, while her left hand rests on a large round shield decorated with a gorgoneion boss. A long spear is propped against her left shoulder and leans diagonally across the field. The two-part legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the right and ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ to the left flanks the central figure. A monogram appears in the inner left field, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark consistent with the Abydus issue. |
