| Reverse description | Tyche, the tutelary deity of Smyrna, stands facing left wearing a turreted crown (kalathos), her figure draped in a long chiton and himation. She extends her right hand holding a patera and cradles a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolising the prosperity and good fortune of the city. The encircling legend ϹΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ Γ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ proclaims Smyrna's prestigious triple neocorate status, confirming the city as thrice-honoured keeper of an imperial cult temple. |
