| Reverse description | Tyche of Edessa, the city's patron deity and personification of civic fortune, seated left upon a rectangular basis or throne, holding stalks of corn ears in her extended hand, symbolising abundance and prosperity. At her feet stands a small lighted altar. In the exergue below, a river god swims left, likely representing the Daisan (Skirtos) river associated with Edessa. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the design, citing the metropolitan colonial status of the city. |
