| Reverse description | The nymph Histiaia seated right upon the stern of a galley, rendered in a three-quarter frontal view, holding what appears to be a naval standard or scepter. The prow and oar-banks of the galley are depicted below, emphasizing the maritime importance of the city-state. The Greek ethnic inscription ΙΣΤΙΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed around the figure in the field. The reverse composition is a hallmark of Histiaian coinage, celebrating the city's seafaring identity. |
