| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing with head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos (modius crown) atop her head. In her right hand she holds a ship's rudder, symbolising guidance and destiny, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The reverse legend ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ arcs around the field in Greek majuscules, identifying the issuing civic authority as the people of Metropolis in Ionia. |
