| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, depicted in dynamic flight to the left, her large spread wings prominent behind her draped figure. She wears a chiton with finely rendered flowing drapery. Her outstretched right arm holds an aphlaston, the ornamental stern ornament taken as a naval trophy, rendered in the energetic style characteristic of Himera's late classical bronze issues. The field is plain, with no inscription or additional devices. |
