Coveted by collectors the Nike/Victory Icon is used on coinage throughout time and by many different cultures. Lets see them! I encourage the WORLD Collectors to include there coins of Victory of with Victory on it. I think it will be an interesting spread to see.. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lets start off with some my largest Victory/Nike. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">(Modern Turkey) Anatolia,Pamphylia, Side, c.
