Reverse description Tyche, the personification of fortune and civic guardian deity, stands facing left, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical crown) upon her head. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, symbolising guidance and good fortune, and a cornucopia in her left, denoting abundance. A six-pointed star appears in the right field, an additional emblem possibly referencing civic or divine patronage. The Greek ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ encircles the type, identifying this as a civic issue of Samos.
