| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple depicted in elevation, its four columns supporting an entablature and pediment in the Hellenistic architectural tradition of Smyrna. Within the intercolumniation stands Tyche facing left, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, emblematic of the city's maritime prosperity and divine fortune. The reverse legend in Greek characters, distributed around the field, names the presiding strategos and the civic authority responsible for the issue. |
