Comment
Comment from Nomos AG: "The appearance of Nike on this coin, clearly identified with her name on the obverse, almost certainly must relate to a contemporary victory, but which one is at present unknown."Interesting fact
The Nomos coin from Metapontion (Lucania) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a mythological scene of a man riding a dolphin. This image was meant to symbolize the city's connection to the sea and its maritime traditions.
