| Reverse description | Tetrastyle temple facade depicted in frontal elevation, its four columns supporting an entablature and pediment rendered in the schematic manner typical of Asian provincial bronzes. Within the intercolumniation stands the figure of Tyche facing left, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, emblematic of the city's fortune and prosperity. The reverse legend, distributed in the field and exergue, identifies the civic magistrate and issuing city. A dotted border frames the entire design. |
