| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche of the city of Edessa seated left upon a rocky outcrop, rendered in the conventional provincial style, holding stalks of corn ears in her extended right hand. At her feet stands a lighted altar. Beneath the rocky seat, a river god swims leftward, personifying the Daisan river that flows through Edessa. The Greek civic legend appears in the field, identifying the issuing authority of the colonial mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Edessa occupied an awkward position during Elagabalus's reign — a client city with deep Semitic religious traditions that the emperor himself was busy importing to Rome in the form of the solar cult of El-Gabal. The city's coins from this period reflect a local mint operating with considerable autonomy, producing issues whose die workmanship varies sharply even within the same reign, suggesting small-scale intermittent production rather than sustained official output.
