| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands in full figure facing left in the field, wearing a turreted crown (polos) and long draped garments. She holds a rudder downward in her left hand, symbolizing guidance and providence, and a cornucopia in her right arm, emblematic of abundance. The Greek ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ encircles the figure around the periphery, attributing the issue to the city of Prusa ad Olympum. The reverse type is a standard civic allegory commonly employed on Bithynian provincial coinage of the imperial period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Prusa ad Olympum, nestled at the foot of Mount Olympus in Bithynia, was a city with enough civic ambition to maintain its own bronze coinage well into the third century, though its output under Trajan Decius was modest. Decius himself ruled barely two years before dying at the Battle of Abritus in 251 — the first Roman emperor killed in battle against a foreign enemy — which hard-brackets the production window for every coin issued in his name.
IX#212 is a relatively thin reference corpus entry, suggesting this type survives in small numbers.
