Obverse description	Turreted and draped bust of Tyche facing left, wearing a high mural crown with battlements, within a beaded border. The bust is rendered in a provincial style characteristic of Nabataean civic coinage, with simplified facial features and schematic drapery visible at the shoulder. No legend is present in the field. The overall type identifies the city goddess of Petra as the principal obverse design.

Reverse description	A schematic depiction of a Nabataean tent or pavilion symbol — rendered as a rectangular canopy or baldachin above a crescent — occupies the central field, flanked by a palm branch to the right. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. The Greek monogram Π Μ (Petra Metropolis) appears in the field, serving as the city abbreviation. The reverse type reflects the civic pride of Petra following its elevation to metropolis status under Roman provincial administration.
