| Reverse description | Tyche standing left in full figure, wearing a polos or mural crown, holding a rudder downward in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, emblematic of fortune and civic prosperity. The figure is rendered in the typical provincial style of Lydian civic coinage, with drapery falling in linear folds. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the type in Greek characters, distributed around the field. The reverse field shows the sandy patina characteristic of coins from this region, with moderate surface corrosion but the type remaining identifiable. |
