| Reverse description | Tyche of the city of Edessa seated left upon a rocky eminence or stone throne, holding ears of grain in her extended hand, symbolising the city's fertility and prosperity. Below the principal figure, a river god swims to the right, personifying the Daisan (Skirtos) river that flowed through Edessa. The composition is a canonical type for Edessan civic bronze coinage, with the encircling legend naming the city in the exergual field. |
