| Reverse description | Turreted, veiled and draped bust of Tyche, the city goddess of Edessa, facing right, set within an olive wreath that frames the entire reverse field. The mural crown atop the goddess's head symbolises the city's fortifications, while the veil and drapery reflect the Hellenistic iconographic tradition for civic Tyche types. The encircling wreath serves both as a decorative border and as a civic emblem, and the Greek legend identifying the mint city is disposed within the wreath border. |
