| Obverse description | Turreted head of Tyche facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with a prominent mural crown composed of multiple battlements rising from the brow. The facial features are modeled in moderate relief with visible drapery at the neck. The field is plain and uninscribed. The flan is slightly irregular at the edges, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
Conana was a minor Pisidian city-state in the Taurus highlands whose bronze civic coinage falls within the broad period of Roman reorganization of Asia Minor following the Attalid bequest of 133 BC. The city maintained enough administrative autonomy to produce its own civic bronze throughout the late Hellenistic period, though its output was modest and its issues remain poorly studied compared to the larger Pisidian centers like Sagalassos or Termessos.
The Pisidiens reference corpus remains one of the few systematic attempts to catalog this region's bronzes, and even it collapses Conana's issues into a narrow range of four catalog numbers.
