| Reverse description | Tyche of the city of Edessa seated left upon a rocky outcrop, holding grain ears in her extended hand, personifying the city's prosperity and fortune. A lighted altar is placed at her feet, and a star appears on each side of the field. In the exergue, a river god swims leftward, representing the Daisan (Skirtos) river flowing through Edessa. The reverse composition reflects the standard civic iconography of Edessan colonial coinage under the Severan dynasty. |
