| Reverse description | The nymph Histiaia seated right upon the stern of a war galley, her figure draped and elegantly posed. She holds a stylis (steering oar or standard) in her extended right hand, while the stern of the vessel is prominently decorated with a large wing spreading upward behind her. The legend IΣTIAIEΩN is inscribed in Greek characters around the design, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects the civic pride of Histiaia in its naval traditions, rendered with fine Hellenistic craftsmanship. |
