Reverse description Turreted Tyche, the civic goddess personifying the fortune of Ascalon, stands facing left, holding a military standard in her right hand and an aplustre (ship's stern ornament) in her left, emblematic of the city's maritime identity. To the right in the field, a dove stands facing left, a well-attested symbol of the Philistine deity Atargatis and a hallmark of Ascalonian civic coinage. The Greek city-name and regnal era date appear in the field, framed by a dotted border.
