| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, seated left upon a rocky outcrop, extending her right hand in a gesture of beneficence and holding a trophy over her left shoulder. The composition reflects the civic iconography typical of Nabataean-influenced provincial coinage of Arabia Petraea. The Greek legend ΑΔΡΙ ΠΕΤΡΑ is disposed in the field around the central type, referencing the Hadrianic refoundation of the city. The rocky seat is a distinctive motif evoking the natural topography of Petra. |
