| Reverse description | Tyche of Edessa, turreted and veiled, seated left upon rocky ground, holding grain ears in her extended hand. Standing before her, Nike presents a wreath to crown Tyche. In the exergue, the river-god Orontes is depicted swimming left, personifying the river associated with the city. The composition is a celebrated reverse type distinctive to the Edessene mint under Elagabalus, combining civic and divine symbolism. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the design, identifying the issuing city. |
