| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, stands facing left in full figure, draped in a long chiton and himation, wearing a turreted crown upon her head. She extends her right hand downward to hold a rudder, symbolising guidance and prosperity, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits, emblematic of abundance. The figure occupies the central field, with the ethnic legend distributed around the periphery in Greek characters. |
