| Reverse description | Tyche of the city of Carrhae seated left upon a rocky outcrop, holding corn ears in her extended hand, symbolising the city's prosperity and fertility. A lighted altar is depicted at her feet, denoting civic religious observance. Below the main type, a river god swims left in the exergue, representing the local waterway associated with the region of Mesopotamia. The reverse legend in Greek identifies Carrhae as a colony and metropolis of Mesopotamia, with the letter alpha (Α) likely serving as a control mark or denomination indicator. |
