| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, standing facing left, wearing a kalathos (modius) upon her head and draped in a chiton and himation. She extends her right hand downward to hold a ship's rudder resting on the ground, and carries a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolizing prosperity and the city's good fortune. A Greek circular legend naming the magistrate and the people of Tralles borders the design. |

| Additional information |
Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, held the rare distinction of being granted the title of twice-neokoros — keeper of the imperial cult — under the Antonines, which fueled competitive civic minting as cities jostled for status within the Ephesian conventus. The magistrate abbreviation ΓΡ Πο likely identifies a local strategos or grammateus whose tenure can be cross-referenced against the narrow window of 139–144, helping sequence this issue within Tralles' otherwise poorly documented bronze production under Antoninus Pius.
