| Reverse description | Tyche standing left in full figure, wearing a turreted crown and long chiton, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm. The dedicatory legend of magistrate Rufinus II surrounds the type in the field, distributed around the standing figure. The style is characteristic of Phrygian civic bronze coinage under the Severan dynasty, with a dotted border encircling the design. |

| Additional information |
Bruzus was a minor Phrygian city of no particular political weight, and its civic bronze issues under Septimius Severus survive in very small numbers — unsurprising given the limited output expected from a settlement this size within the Apamean conventus. The dedicatory inscription naming Rufinus as the magistrate responsible for the issue places this squarely within the Greek East's tradition of civic euergетism, where local officials funded or oversaw coin production as a public act.
V.2#532 is a sparsely documented type.
