| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of Fortune and civic prosperity, stands facing with head turned to the left, draped in a long chiton and wearing a turreted crown atop her head. In her right hand she holds a rudder, symbolising guidance and destiny, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits, emblematic of abundance. The figure is rendered in the classical provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field around the figure, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
