| Reverse description | A tetrastyle or distyle temple facade with two decorated columns is depicted, with a pellet ornament in the pediment. Within the intercolumniation, the city-goddess Tyche is seated left upon rocks, extending her right hand holding a small stele or sceptre, and grasping a trophy in her left hand. The composition reflects the standard civic reverse type of Petra as a Hadrianic metropolis, celebrating the city's monumental religious and civic architecture. The surrounding Greek legend in the field identifies the issuing city. |
