| Reverse description | A turreted and draped bust, likely of the city-goddess Tyche of Tyana, faces right, presented as the civic deity and protectress of the city. The surrounding Greek legend reads TYANEΩN T Π T IEΡAC K.. (of the Tyaneans, thrice neokoros, sacred...), referencing the city's religious and civic honorifics. The reverse field is heavily worn and encrusted, obscuring finer details of the design. The style is consistent with the civic bronze coinage of Cappadocian cities under the Antonine emperors. |
