| Reverse description | Turreted and draped bust of Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, facing right, with a cornucopia rising behind her shoulder — a standard emblematic attribute signifying abundance and prosperity. The reverse type is characteristic of the civic coinage of Bostra, where Tyche served as the tutelary deity of the city. The surrounding Greek legend identifies the subject as the Tyche of Bostra. The die work reflects the provincial engraving style of the Bostra mint during the Severan period. |
