| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, standing left in full figure, her right hand extended and holding a patera, her left arm cradling a cornucopia. The reverse legend, arranged around the field, names the local strategos Lucius and identifies the issuing community. The type reflects the standard civic iconography employed by Hypaepa and neighboring Lydian cities during the Trajanic period. |

| Additional information |
Hypaepa was a small Lydian city in the Cayster River valley whose coins are notable primarily for their magistrate series — the strategos named in this legend, Lucius, is one of several local officials whose tenures can be roughly sequenced through surviving bronze issues but rarely pinned to a specific year within Trajan's two-decade reign. The Conventus of Ephesus grouped dozens of such Lydian communities under a single Roman judicial circuit, and Hypaepa's output was modest enough that even common types from this city are underrepresented in major collections.
