I don't think we use coward on its own in this context.

perhaps: ", yet nevertheless is a coward."

?

Done. Thanks!

(non-native speaker writing)

I also don't see how being a coward would be contrary enough to being strong to connect the two using "nevertheless".

Although these're not entirely contrary properties but one can't say:
Tom is brave, yet nevertheless is a coward. Or: strong <-> weak.

The one he who is strong is supposed not to be a coward.
