| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in the field, rendered in the round in conventional Hellenistic style. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, symbolizing guidance and destiny, and a cornucopia in her left arm, emblematic of abundance and prosperity. The ethnic legend ΚΟΛΟΦΩΝΙΩΝ is disposed around the figure in the field, within a beaded border. The overall composition reflects the standard reverse iconography adopted by Colophon for its civic bronze coinage under the Roman Empire. |
