| Reverse description | Tyche of the city of Edessa enthroned to the left upon a decorated base, holding corn ears in her outstretched hand as a symbol of civic prosperity. A lighted altar is placed at her feet, and a star appears in the field on each side of the figure, emphasizing the sacred and celestial status of the city. Below the throne, a river god swims to the right, personifying the Daisan river associated with Edessa. The encircling legend ΜΗΤ ΚΟΛ ΕΔΕϹϹΗΝωΝ proclaims the city's status as a metropolis and Roman colony. |
