| Reverse description | Fortuna-Tyche, turreted and veiled, seated upon a rocky eminence to the right, holding ears of corn in her extended hand. Beneath her feet, the river-god Orontes is depicted swimming, personifying the great river of the region. The composition follows the established iconographic tradition of Ptolemais colonial bronzes, emphasizing the city's prosperity and its geographical connection to the Orontes valley. The abbreviated Latin colonial legend appears in the field. |
