| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Tyche standing left, attired in long chiton and wearing a kalathos (modius-style basket crown) upon her head, emblematic of civic fortune and abundance. In her right hand she holds a ship's rudder, symbolising the city's guidance and its connection to maritime commerce, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits. The civic legend of Prusias ad Hypium is disposed around the field. The flan is irregular and the surface heavily corroded, though the principal elements of the type remain identifiable. |
